WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Looking back, the most remarkable feat accomplished here Sunday afternoon may have been that across eight combined innings, the Athletics faced the minimum against the Yankees.

That’s because for one inning in between — a 43-minute top of the third — they faced a Yankees parade.

Sparked by a message from Aaron Judge to wake up after a “sleepy” first two innings, the Yankees began the third by having their first 12 batters reach base safely and scoring 10 runs before they made the first out. And their stupefying rally did not stop there.

By the time the marathon inning was over, the Yankees had sent 18 men to the plate, with 15 of them reaching and 13 of them scoring — one shy of a franchise record that has stood since 1920. They racked up 11 hits — incredibly, none of them leaving the park — four walks and four steals, seeing 75 pitches from three pitchers. Anthony Volpe, Ben Rice and Cody Bellinger each had two hits in the inning, with Rice driving in four runs on a double and triple.

In the process, the Yankees turned a three-run deficit into a 10-run lead, sucking the life out of the A’s pitching staff one painstaking at-bat at a time on the way to a 13-8 win.

“We were sitting here kind of flat, but when we have energy and we press on the gas against all these teams, we’re the best team in baseball,” Judge said. “Just wanted guys to remember that.

“A couple choice words there, just get it going. The boys responded.”

Amazingly, in the eight innings outside of the ridiculous third, the Yankees only had a single base runner: a leadoff walk in the sixth inning that was erased by a double play. In other words, the A’s were one inning short of a combined no-hitter.

“Today was one of those crazy games that I don’t know what it was, but it was a win,” manager Aaron Boone said.

Will Warren, who had to jog to the bullpen during the second pitching change of the third inning to warm up because it had been so long since he last threw a pitch, did not allow the A’s (28-31) to return serve. The right-hander took the gaudy run support and cruised across six innings, allowing only three unearned runs, as the Yankees (36-23) wrapped up a 5-1 road trip in style.

“It’s very easy in a day game to, ‘Oh let’s go through the motions,’ but that’s how you get your ass beat,” Warren said. “I’m glad we woke up and turned it around on them.”

The 12 straight Yankees to reach base to start the third inning matched a franchise record from 1949. Phil Rizzuto led off that rally with a walk before the likes of Joe DiMaggio and Yogi Berra piled on.

On Sunday, it was Volpe who got it going with a bloop single after the Yankees had not even hit the ball out of the infield through the first two innings against A’s lefty Jacob Lopez and trailed 3-0.

Former A’s utilityman Max Schuemann and Austin Wells followed with walks to load the bases for Paul Goldschmidt, who roped an RBI single to make it a 3-1 game.

Rice came up next and smoked a two-run double down the line to tie the game before Judge blooped a single into center field for the 4-3 lead, and the Yankees were off and running. They did not make an out until Goldschmidt, batting for the second time in the frame, was called out looking at a pitch out of the zone, at which point they led 10-3.

“It was crazy,” said Volpe, who was on deck to hit for the third time when the inning finally ended. “I felt like I would run the bases and then I’d get up and have to put my stuff back on [to hit].”

They leaned on station-to-station action to keep extending the lead instead of waiting for the big swing to clean up the traffic with a home run. The long ball never came for the team that leads the majors in homers, but they found a different way to attack against Lopez and righty reliever Michael Kelly.

“We got guys up and down this lineup that can hit homers, but it’s guys taking walks, guys just putting the ball in play and seeing what happens,” Judge said. “I feel like [for] a couple years, we haven’t had that ability to do something like that. But now we got the capability with the type of lineup we have, there’s a lot of grit in this team.

“That inning was fun.”

The A’s made things semi-interesting in the seventh inning when Tim Hill got some work in and gave up four runs on a pair of homers, but eventually the Yankees escaped with the win.

“I don’t think the prettiest game on either side necessarily,” Boone said, “but we were able to make a really outstanding inning stand up.
