The Yankees are now 5-1 following their heavy 7-0 loss in Arizona earlier this week and a 5-2 victory over the D'Backs on Monday. This season was the first time in franchise history that the pinstripes won their five games of the season on the road. What's more, this season is the fifth time in franchise history that the Yankees have started with a 5-0 record. The Yankees' last season in which they had five straight victories was 32 years ago, when they opened the season with a 6-0 record.
