In one inning — and with one swing — Saturday, the Yankees scored more than they had in any full game in almost a week. 

A day after playing hero in the bottom of the ninth inning with a walk-off single, Anthony Rizzo delivered a three-run home run that capped off a four-run frame and lifted the Yankees to a 5-3 win over the Tigers in The Bronx. 

Before Saturday, the Yankees (22-13) had not scored more than two runs in any game since racking up 15 last Sunday in Milwaukee.

Rizzo changed that with one big swing before the Yankees’ bullpen — keyed by 2 ¹/₃ innings from Luke Weaver and a four-out save from Clay Holmes — locked down the win by extending its scoreless streak to 16 ¹/₃ innings. 

“Today was excellent,” manager Aaron Boone said. “That’s Rizz right there. … Obviously that’s the difference in the game right there. But a lot of good at-bats that set that up.” 

Aaron Judge was in the middle of both of the Yankees’ rallies before he was ejected in the seventh inning.

He briefly expressed his displeasure with a called third strike and was hit with a quick ejection, the first of his career, from home plate umpire Ryan Blakney. 

“I know it got the boys fired up a little bit,” said Clarke Schmidt, who was solid while giving up three runs over five innings. 

Weaver and Holmes helped make sure the two-run lead stood and the Yankees would not need Judge’s spot in the order to come up again. Holmes recorded his second straight save of more than three outs after earning a five-out save on Wednesday in Baltimore.

He has now thrown 16 innings without allowing an earned run to start the season. 

Judge singled in the first inning and eventually scored on Giancarlo Stanton’s bullet single over the right fielder’s head to tie the game, 1-1. 

Then in the third inning, Anthony Volpe led off with a walk and Juan Soto singled off right-hander Casey Mize before Judge pulled a double to left field for the 2-1 lead. 

“When the middle of the order can get on base and get things rolling, this offense flows way better,” Judge said. 

Rizzo came up next and clobbered an inside fastball to right field for the three-run shot. It marked his fifth home run in the last 12 games. 

“I think with the team coming out in the first and scoring a run, just the way we came out offensively was nice,” Rizzo said. “To add on is always nice.” 

The Yankees had been starved recently for a big hit like Rizzo’s.

He delivered the walk-off single in the ninth inning Friday, after the Yankees had been shut out for eight innings, and then came up big again with two runners on Saturday to make it a 5-1 game. 

“Just stringing good ABs together,” Boone said. “A lot of good things happening there in an inning where we were finally able to put together a crooked number, which was nice and gave us a little breathing room.” 

For the second straight start, Schmidt gave up a leadoff home run in the first inning, this one to Riley Greene. 

But the right-hander settled in from there, striking out six through the first three innings.

The Tigers got to him again in the fourth inning, which Wenceel Perez led off with a single and scored on a triple by Matt Vierling.

Colt Keith then drove in Vierling on a sacrifice fly that pulled the Tigers within 5-3 before Schmidt got out of the inning. 

“My other stuff was really, really good and the sinker wasn’t good,” Schmidt said. “I think we did a good job adjusting the game plan. Stuff like that happens. Sometimes you’re going to show up and you don’t have a certain pitch or you might not feel great and you have to make adjustments. So I thought we did an overall really good job of that.”
