The Yankees' current 18 game streak of scoring 4 or more runs in a game is tied for the 5th longest streak since 1954: http://www.baseball-reference.com/play- ... areit/akbx
The longest streak belongs to the 1994 Cleveland Indians, who scored 4 or more runs in 23 straight games (going 17-6). The Red Sox had a 21 game streak in 1977 (13-8), the Royals had a 20 game streak (15-5) in 1985 (when they won the World Series), and the Yankees had a 19 game streak in 1994 (15-4).
It looks like they will be facing Verlander in their first series after the break, so they have their work cut out for them if they want to continue the streak. The series is at Yankee Stadium, so that should help them keep the streak going.
