Shortstop Francisco Lindor’s double error led to a pair of runs in a four-run fifth inning off previously unhittable Trevor Bauer, Sonny Gray won for the first time in a month, and the Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians, 5-2, on Saturday for their 14th win in 15 games.
New York is in its first 14-1 stretch since 1998, when the Yankees won 114 games during the regular season and then the first of three straight World Series titles. The Yankees have won eight straight home games for the first time since 2010.
Gray (2-2) allowed two runs and four hits in six innings, working with more poise and polish to the backup catcher Austin Romine than he has with the All-Star starter Gary Sanchez.
