This marks a significant milestone for Rice, who has been on a tear this season. According to MLB.com, Rice's performance was motivated by Boone's forecast, which has now been blown past.

The Yankees are benefiting from Rice's hot streak, with the team refusing to give up on their season despite the looming playoffs. However, it is Rice's breakout that is becoming impossible to ignore, as Yahoo Sports notes.

With the AL lead now tied, the question on everyone's mind is what happens next for Rice and the Yankees. Will they be able to continue their winning ways and make a deep run in the playoffs?
