No team since 2000 has done it three times in a row, although the Yankees have a shot today against the White Sox. Amazing that they hit 13 HR in the last 2 games and ARod didn't hit a single one of them.

Well the Yankees did not hit 5 HRs today. That was one heck of a crazy game they had against Chicago...both teams scoring 8 runs in the second inning...eek!

Yankees hit 15 HRs in the three games with White Sox. Is it the record of most HRs for a single team in consecutive three games?
