Have not won more than two straight games since winning four straight from 6/ Are vs. the AL East and vs. all other divisions. WHERE WE LEFT OFF: The Yankees settled for a split in their four-game series at Cleveland after dropping the finale on Sunday, 5-2 were tied, 2-2, after seven innings RHP Masahiro Tanaka (6.1IP, 6H, 2ER, 1BB, 5K, 1HR) started and took a no-decision 2B Neil Walker (1-for-4) hit a solo HR in the fourth, the Yankees' only XBH CF Aaron Hicks (1- for-3, 1BB) drove in the Yankees' first run with a third-inning single RF Giancarlo Stanton (2-for-4, 1SB) had the only multi-hit effort RHP Chad Green (1.2IP, 3H, 1IBB, 2K, 1HR, 1HP, 1WP) allowed 3ER in the eighth inning to take the loss, snapping a 15.0-inning scoreless streak by Yankees relievers. FOR STARTERS: Sunday's loss at Cleveland was only the Yankees' sixth loss when their starter completes at least 6.0IP their 39-6 (.867) record in those games is still the best in the Majors (next: Oakland, 33-10,.767). Was also just their seventh defeat when scoring first (45-7). NIGHT OF STARS: In the AL's 8-6, 10-inning win in Tuesday's All-Star Game, LF Aaron Judge (1-for-2, 1BB) hit a solo HR in the second inning off reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer was the first of a record 10HR in the game was the 12th HR by a Yankee in an All-Star Game, the first since Yankees homered in three consecutive games from : Derek Jeter (2001), Alfonso Soriano (2002), Jason Giambi (2003) RHP Luis Severino tossed a scoreless second inning (1H, 2K), allowing a double to Matt Kemp and striking out Bryce Harper and Brandon Crawford 2B Gleyber Torres and LHP Aroldis Chapman did not play. ALL RISE: With 25HR this season, RF Aaron Judge became the fourth player to hit at least 25HR before the All-Star break in two different seasons as a Yankee, and just the second to do it in consecutive years (Roger Maris, ). FAN FAVORITES: Through 46 home gates, the Yankees lead the AL in total home attendance (1,967,619) and average attendance per home gate (42,774), trailing only the Dodgers in average attendance (46,747 per gate). Their 15 home sellouts are their most in a season since 2014 (16) the current Yankee Stadium record is 20 sellouts, set in 2011 have sold out eight of their last 11 home gates (since 6/16). Also lead the Majors in average road attendance at 33,575 per gate no other AL team is averaging more than 31,000 per road gate. WE WERE ON A BREAK: At 62-33, the Yankees.653 winning percentage is the highest in the Divisional Era (since 1969) by any team outside of first place at the All-Star break only two other teams have ever entered the break with as high a winning percentage and were not in first place (1954 Yankees, 56-28,.667; 1940 Brooklyn, 45-23,.662). Entered the All-Star break with a record at least 29G above.500 for just the fourth time in franchise history: also in 1998 (+41), in 1939 (+31), and in 1953 (+30) marked their 23rd consecutive season with a record of.500-or-better at the break ( ). Have posted a winning record after the All-Star break in each of the last 25 seasons ( ), the secondlongest such streak in Major League history, behind their own 32-year streak from NATIONAL PASTIME: The Yankees bring a 9-6 Interleague record into play tonight are seeking their 18th winning record in 22 seasons of Interleague play (since 1997) are 15-6 in Interleague games since 7/25/17. With a record, they have the most wins in Interleague history. APPLE WATCH: With a record in the Subway Series, the Yankees' 68 wins vs. the Mets are the most victories by any team over a single opponent in Interleague history (nextmost: Los Angeles Angels, vs. Los Angeles Dodgers). Are in their last eight Subway Series (since 5/14/14), going 14-5 in that span are 6-1 in seven games since the start of HOME COOKING: The Yankees are (.717) at home in 2018, the second-best mark in the Majors (Boston, 34-13,.723) are 28-8 in 36G since 4/21 tonight, begin a stretch with 19-of-29 games at Yankee Stadium. Are in their last 21 home series (since 8/31/17), going in 64G over that span. Since their only home series loss of the season (1-3 vs. Baltimore from 4/5-8 vs. Baltimore), are in 13 home series, their longest streak without dropping a series at home since going over 25 home series from 9/15/97-8/16/98 are in 11 home series since 4/19. Their next four home series are all against last-place teams (13G total): these 3G vs. the Mets, 4G vs. Kansas City, 2G vs. Baltimore, 4G vs. Texas. BRONX BOMBERS: Yankees batters lead the Majors with 30HR (in 15G) in July, 10 more than any other club (Colorado-20) are hitting.273/.352/.507 with 87R, 31 doubles and 1 triple this month. Their Major League-leading 161 home runs were the most ever by a Major League team prior to the All-Star break (prev. Seattle-151HR in 1999) are on pace to hit 275HR (the MLB record is 264HR by Seattle in 1997). Lead the Majors in SLG (.463) and rank second in runs per game (5.19), OPS (.793) and XBH (353) and third in runs (493). FIRST HALF FRENZY: The Yankees had five players hit at least 15HR prior to the All-Star break for the first time in franchise history (Judge-25HR, Stanton-23HR, Gregorius- 17HR, Hicks-16HR and Torres-15HR). Already have seven players with double-digit HRs (the five above, plus Sánchez-14HR, Andújar-12HR) three others have at least eight (Gardner-9HR, Austin-8HR, Bird-8HR) the club record is 10 players with at least 10HR in a season, done twice (1998, 2012). SIR DIDI: SS Didi Gregorius' 17HR are fourth among Major League shortstops this season (Francisco Lindor-25, Manny Machado-24, Trevor Story-20) are the most ever by a Yankees SS before the break, and the third-most by a middle infielder behind 2B Robinson Canó in 2013 (21HR) and 2012 (20HR). With a career-high 10SB, is the third different Yankees shortstop to reach double digits in both HRs and SBs before the break, along with Derek Jeter (6x: , 2002, '04-05, '09) and Frankie Crosetti (1936).
