While the 1998 Yankees may have had an eight-game winning streaking snapped earlier this week, they got back on the horse in a hurry with wins over the Twins and Royals. However, a tough test then awaited them as the AL West-leading Rangers were set to come to town.
The week prior, the Yankees had taken two games over the Rangers in Texas, but one of them in particular was a crazy and close battle. Their May 13th game against the Rangers also ended in a Yankees’ win, but it also went right down to the wire.
