It’s always a bit of a bummer to have a long win streak snapped like the Yankees did on August 15, 1998. After nine consecutive victories, they took a blowout loss to the Rangers. However, in baseball, almost every day brings a new game, and a new day to do something cool, like they did on August 16th.
August 16: Yankees 6, Rangers 5 (box score)
Record: 90-30, .750 (19.5 GA)
With future less than stellar Yankee Esteban Loaiza on the mound for the Rangers, the Yankees’ offense got off to a hot start.
