Yankees have 11-run inning, end with 21 runs: By the numbers - CBSSports.com

That's
21 unanswered runs after a five-run deficit. Not surprisingly, that's the first time in MLB history this has happened (via Elias).
A few more numbers:
•Since 1914 -- the era of reliable box scores -- this was just the 123rd time a team scored at least 21 runs. (As always, thank you baseball-reference.com play index).
•The Yankees have been the team to do it two of the last three times a team scored more than 20 runs. The Mariners (wait, what?!?!) had 21 runs on May 30, 2012, and then it was the Yankees with 22 runs on Aug. 25, 2011.
•The Yankees' franchise record for runs scored in a game is 25, which happened in 1936.
•This was the most runs scored in a game this season, surpassing the Orioles' 19-run effort on June 16.
•This was the most runs the Rangers have allowed since the aforementioned Mariners inexplicably scoring 21 runs game.
•The 11-run second marked the most runs the Yankees scored in an inning since July 30, 2011, when they scored 12. The franchise record for runs in an inning is 14, which happened all the way back in 1920.
•This was the first game since 1972 when neither starting pitcher recorded an out past the first inning (@STATS_MLB).
•Even more, from the brilliant Katie Sharp:
This is only time in last 100 yrs that 2 pitchers have allowed 7+ runs in 1 IP or fewer in a game against the Yankees.
That's a rough one, Martin Perez and Wandy Rodriguez.
The Rangers, by the way, were forced to throw 244 pitches in all.
