June 26 (UPI) -- New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu's leadoff home run against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night gave the Yankees a home run in a Major League record 28 consecutive games.
LeMahieu's first-inning home run helped the Yankees pass the 2002 Texas Rangers for most consecutive games with a home run. The veteran second baseman's 11th home run of the season paced the Yankees to a 4-3 victory over the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium.
