In four straight games in May 1930, the Yankees scored 10 or more runs, setting a team record for consecutive games with 10 or more runs. The all-time baseball record was six, set the previous season by the Giants, and at that point, only seven teams had managed four or more straight games.
That seems like it should have been a Yankees record that stood for a long time, but it wouldn’t last a month.
On June 12, the Yankees played the second game of a three-game series in Detroit. Hall-of-famer Waite Hoyt got the start for the Tigers, and the Yankees quickly chased him from the game, scoring five runs in the first two innings.
