PHOENIX -- Luis Gil had a successful outing in his return from Tommy John surgery and the New York Yankees started the season on a five-game winning streak for the first time in 32 years, defeating the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-2 on Monday night.
Anthony Volpe had his first career four-hit game -- including two doubles -- and an RBI. The Yankees also started the year with five wins in five games in 1933, 1988 and 1992. The 1927 Yankees started 6-0, but also had a tie in their third game.
