The New York Yankees' starting pitchers have set a new Major League Baseball (MLB) record by going 15 consecutive games with at least five innings pitched while allowing two runs or fewer. This achievement surpasses the previous record of 14 games, which was held by the 1907 Phillies, 1968 Pirates, and 2022 Mets. Despite this historic performance, the Yankees suffered a late-game loss to the Los Angeles Angels, who scored two runs in the eighth inning for a come-from-behind victory. Notably, Yankees pitcher Luis Gil played a significant role in the team's strong start to the season, delivering outstanding performances including a recent win where he stymied the Angels over eight innings. This record was set despite the season-long absence of the reigning Cy Young winner.
