The New York Yankees won their 13th straight game on Friday evening, the longest since the 1961 season. Something special is ongoing, as the Bombers were clicking on all cylinders as they destroyed Oakland with four homers, securing an 8-2 victory at the Colosseum.
“We’re clicking on all cylinders,” said Stanton, who launched another homer. “We’re grinding away at the opponent. We’ve discussed what it took to get here and how we’ve all fed off each other, the work that we’ve all put in. It’s cool to see it develop.”
Finally, Stanton is hitting dingers left and right, recording eight hits over his last five games, including four consecutive games with home runs and eight total RBIs.
