Returning home to face the Texas Rangers, the New York Yankees did their part and took three of four contests from the AL West cellar dwellers. In the process, the Yankees ran their record of consecutive winning seasons at home to 26, dating back to 1992. While the team in New England seemingly never loses, the Yankees did take advantage of teams beating up on each other in the tightening AL West.
