Yankees Clinch Winning Record for 30th Straight Year; Longest Active Streak in US

Nobody in baseball wins at a historic rate quite like the New York Yankees.

The Bronx Bombers clinched their 30th consecutive winning season with a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins in 12 innings in Game 1 of a doubleheader Wednesday.

The streak is the longest active one in North American sports and trails only their own 39-year run and the Montreal Canadiens' 32-season stretch:

New York did it in style with Aaron Judge launching his 55th home run of the season to cut its deficit to 3-1 before a dramatic walk-off.

Minnesota took a 4-3 lead on Gilberto Celestino's single, but the Yankees answered with RBI singles by Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Oswaldo Cabrera to win it.
