Ben Rice Bashes Two-Run Shot in Win
Ben Rice went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in his team's 7-3 win against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He also walked and struck out twice. The Massachusetts native gave his team a 3-1 lead in the top of the third inning when he blasted a Yoshinobu Yamamoto splitter 425 feet over the wall in right-center field, scoring teammate Aaron Judge. It was the twelfth time he's gone yard in 2025. Rice has cooled off quite a bit since an early-season hot streak, but he's still been productive -- recording at least one hit in five of his last six appearances. The Dartmouth alum has taken massive steps forward regarding average exit velocity (94.6 MPH) and hard-hit rate (57.9%) this season and has already recorded the hardest-hit ball of his career. Despite a .250 batting line through 51 games, he boasts an excellent .293 xBA.
