When Anthony Rizzo homered to win Thursday night’s game against the Rays, it extended a streak for this year’s Yankee team. The walk-off gave the Yankees their 14th straight home win, the longest such run for the franchise since 1961. They have not lost in the Bronx since May 23rd, when they dropped a game to the Orioles, of all teams.
While this is far from a regular occurrence, the “since 1961” qualifier in the previous paragraph should tell you that this is not a franchise record just yet. There’s still a couple more streaks they can surpass.
