It was business as usual for the 1998 Yankees across the first half of June. They opened the month stacking wins on top of wins on top of wins, losing just their first game since the calendar flipped on June 11th. After two days without a game, they got back to their winning ways 4-2 victory over Cleveland, and with the team headed to Camden Yards to face the middling Baltimore Orioles, it looked like the Yankees were about to start yet another winning streak.
But then, the impossible happened. For the first time since the first week of the season, the 1998 Yankees did not win back-to-back games.
