Yankees set homer record

The New York Yankees set a Major League Baseball record with a homer in a 28th straight game on Tuesday — DJ LeMahieu’s leadoff blast securing the mark in a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. LeMahieu belted a pitch off Toronto left-hander Clayton Richard into the second deck of seats in left field at Yankee Stadium to give New York the record. The Yankees came into the contest having had a homer in 27 straight games — tied with the 2002 Texas Rangers, who achieved the feat from August 11 to September 9 of that year. Fourteen different Yankees have homered in the 28-game run, which began on May 26 in Kansas City.
