Now I have my own “Bat signal”? Cool!
So, using the Retrosheet gamelogs, I’ve determined that the Yankees tied a record for most consecutive games with the same R-H-E (3). Here are the three games in question:
Tuesday’s game
Wednesday’s game
Its been done five times previously, as follows:
| DATE | TEAM | GM# | R-H-E |
| 19570621 | PIT | 62 | 3-10-0 |
| 19570622 | PIT | 63 | 3-10-0 |
| 19570623 | PIT | 64 | 3-10-0 |
| DATE | TEAM | GM# | R-H-E |
| 19650609 | DET | 50 | 4-8-1 |
| 19650611 | DET | 51 | 4-8-1 |
| 19650611 | DET | 52 | 4-8-1 |
| DATE | TEAM | GM# | R-H-E |
| 19800920 | LAN | 148 | 2-7-1 |
| 19800921 | LAN | 149 | 2-7-1 |
| 19800922 | LAN | 150 | 2-7-1 |
| DATE | TEAM | GM# | R-H-E |
| 19910508 | LAN | 26 | 3-9-0 |
| 19910510 | LAN | 27 | 3-9-0 |
| 19910511 | LAN | 28 | 3-9-0 |
| DATE | TEAM | GM# | R-H-E |
| 20080806 | PIT | 114 | 2-7-0 |
| 20080808 | PIT | 115 | 2-7-0 |
| 20080809 | PIT | 116 | 2-7-0 |
The Yankees DID become the first team to have the same linescore three straight games against the same opponent in a three-game series.
