The Yankees kicked off the final home stand of the 1998 regular season with a four-game set against Cleveland. The Yankees dropped the first game of the series largely thanks to a shock lights-out start from Charles Nagy. This seemed to spur the Bombers on, as they came out guns blazing in a day-night doubleheader at the Stadium, outscoring their opponents 15-5 to take both games.
