Yanks tie record with HR in 27th straight game

The New York Yankees tied the major league record for the longest streak of consecutive games with a home run when Aaron Hicks went deep in the fifth inning on Monday night.

The Yankees have now homered in 27 straight games, tying the record set by the 2002 Texas Rangers.

With two on and one out in the bottom of the fifth, Hicks hit a 2-1 fastball from Toronto Blue Jays starter Aaron Sanchez into the right-field seats to give the Yankees a 3-2 lead.

The last game in which the Yankees failed to hit a home run was May 25 against the Kansas City Royals.
