Luis Gil of the New York Yankees has made history by pitching at least six innings and allowing one or fewer runs in seven consecutive outings, the longest streak in Yankees history. His performance includes six scoreless innings against the Minnesota Twins, lowering his ERA to 1.82. This achievement has propelled the Yankees to their sixth consecutive win, with contributions from Gleyber Torres and Giancarlo Stanton, who both hit home runs. As a rookie, Gil's streak is notable in MLB history, with only longer streaks by Bob Gibson and Jack Coombs, both with 11 games, and Fernando Valenzuela in 1981 with seven straight.
