Yankees break a home run record in spectacular fashion

Well, that was quick.

The Yankees wasted no time making MLB history on Tuesday, homering for a 28th straight game, breaking the mark they briefly shared with the 2002 Rangers.

DJ LeMahieu led off the bottom of the first with a home run to left off Toronto lefty Clayton Richard in The Bronx. For good measure, Aaron Judge followed with an opposite-field shot — his first since his return from the injured list last week — into the seats in right to give the Yankees a quick 2-0 lead.

“I wouldn’t have set out to predict that they’d break that record,’’ Aaron Boone said after they tied the mark in Monday’s win over the Blue Jays.
