Yanks HR in 27th straight to match record, beat Jays 10-8
نوشته شده توسط : thechampionrings

The Yankees' (New York Yankees championship rings for sale) most recent power feat qualifies as "obscure" to manager Aaron Boone. Just not unexpected.

Aaron Hicks and Giancarlo Stanton stretched New York's home run streak to a record-tying 27 games, and the Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays (custom Toronto Blue Jays championship rings) 10-8 Monday night. Hicks and Stanton each hit three-run drives, and New York matched the mark set by Alex Rodriguez and the 2002 Texas Rangers.

"Nothing surprises me that they do," Boone said about his club, which set a major league record last year with 267 homers. "I wouldn't set out to predict they're going to break that one. That's kind of an obscure one. But now that it's happened, with our group, does it surprise me? No."

"It's kind of what we do," Hicks added.

CC Sabathia (5-4) pitched six innings of two-run ball for his 251st career victory. He threw 104 pitches, his most in a game since 2016, and struck out a season-high nine. The 38-year-old left-hander whiffed Billy McKinney with his final pitch, earning a big roar from the Bronx crowd.

Stanton hit his shot during a seven-run sixth inning for his first homer in a season spoiled by various injuries.

The Yankees batted around during that inning, their fourth time turning over the order in the past week. The blowout came a night after New York ended its eight-game winning streak.

Blue Jays starter Aaron Sanchez (3-10) allowed seven runs in 5 1/3 innings. Toronto had won three of four.

Hicks turned on Sanchez's fastball in the fifth inning to make it 3-2 with his fifth homer of the season.

Didi Gregorius and Gleyber Torres led off the next inning with consecutive singles, and then the Yankees were off. DJ LeMahieu -- who matched a career high with four hits -- had a single, Luke Voit had an RBI double and Gregorius singled again before reliever Sean Reid-Foley finally ended the frame with New York up 10-3.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit his 10th homer for Toronto (custom championship rings) leading off the eighth. Nine of those have come in 29 games since he was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on May 24.

Gurriel's shot was the first of five straight hits allowed by Jonathan Holder -- the last was a grand slam by Freddy Galvis. The right-hander was pulled after that without getting an out. Gurriel batted again during the five-run inning and struck out on three pitches against Adam Ottavino.

Yankees (mlb world series championship rings) closer Aroldis Chapman allowed an unearned run during the ninth but got his 22nd save.

"We don't quit," Toronto manager Charlie Montoyo said. "We made them use their setup man, their closer. So outstanding. I love this team."

Sanchez looked sharp early, especially when he back-doored running fastballs to Voit and Hicks for consecutive looking strikeouts in the third.

"He pitched better than what his numbers show for sure," Montoyo said. "He had his good stuff."
