The streaking Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night for their 14th straight home win.
— Anthony Rizzo hit a solo home run with one out in the ninth inning and the streakingThe Yankees have their longest home winning string since taking 15 in a row at the original Yankee Stadium on Aug. 16-Sept. 26, 1961, when Roger Maris was chasing Babe Ruth's single-season home run record.
Rizzo gave New York its eighth walk-off win of the season when he lifted a 2-1 sinker against Shawn Armstrong into the right-center seats. Rizzo watched the ball soar into the seats, dropped his bat and was met with a wild celebration at home plate. Rizzo hit a tying single in the sixth after the Yankees were no-hit into the fifth. He hit his game-winner homer after nearly homering in the first when his flyball was caught at the warning track.
Michael King struck out two and was aided by right fielder Marwin Gonzalez's diving catch on Yandy Diaz's liner in the ninth to set it up for Rizzo's drive.
