Yankees set MLB record with HR in 28th straight game

The New York Yankees wasted no time making history Tuesday.

DJ LeMahieu's solo shot to lead off the first inning against the Toronto Blue Jays gave the Yankees a home run in their major-league record 28th straight game, breaking the mark previously held by the 2002 Texas Rangers.

Aaron Judge followed LeMahieu with a solo shot of his own off Blue Jays starter Clayton Richard.

Gleyber Torres added a third Yankees round-tripper in the second inning.

As a team, New York has hit 50 homers over the course of this streak, which began May 26. Fourteen individual players have homered over the 28-game run; LeMahieu and Gary Sanchez are now tied for the most long bombs during the streak with eight, while Torres has gone deep seven times.
