The New York Yankees set the record with their 28th consecutive game with a home run. Did you really think they were not going to hit a home run Tuesday night? Against Clayton Richard? Playing at home, where pop flies down the line land three rows deep?
It didn't take long to break the record. DJ LeMahieu led off the bottom of the first and belted the sixth pitch from Richard, a 2-2 fat and flat slider, just inside the left-field fair pole for a 392-foot home run. Aaron Judge came up next and he homered, a 406-foot blast to right-center.
