NEW YORK (AP) Yoenis Cespedes and the New York Mets have broken a franchise record by scoring 12 runs in one inning.

Cespedes set a club mark with six RBIs in the third Friday night against the San Francisco Giants, connecting for a two-run single off starter Jake Peavy and a grand slam off reliever Mike Broadway that capped the outburst.

Michael Conforto had an RBI double and a run-scoring single in the inning, which lasted 39 minutes, 47 seconds. He and Cespedes were two of the four players who scored twice. Asdrubal Cabrera greeted Broadway with a two-run double.

The first eight Mets batters reached safely, four on walks, before pitcher Steven Matz struck out trying to bunt. Curtis Granderson, David Wright and Conforto then singled before Cespedes launched his third career slam to left field.

Cespedes was back in the lineup after missing five starts with a bruised right thigh.
