Edwin Encarnacion belts the game-winning solo home run in the eighth inning of the Yankees' 4-3 win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday night.

The Yankees didn’t waste any time in making history Tuesday night.

And they didn’t waste much time in disposing of the Blue Jays again, holding off Toronto 4-3 in The Bronx.

DJ LeMahieu led off the bottom of the first with a homer, as the Yankees went deep for a 28th straight game, breaking the all-time MLB mark they shared with the 2002 Rangers. It was the first of four solo shots hit by the Yankees, who have won 10 of their last 11 games.
