The New York Yankees are on an absolute tear, and Tuesday night's 7-4 victory over the Texas Rangers showcased exactly why they're the hottest team in baseball. With their fifth straight win and 15th in their last 17 games, the Bronx Bombers are proving that their early-season dominance is no fluke.

The game's defining moment came in the sixth inning when Jazz Chisholm Jr. stepped to the plate against two-time Cy Young winner Jacob deGrom. With the score tied 3-3, Chisholm turned on a 98 mph fastball and launched it 413 feet into the right-field seats. It was a moment of poetic justice for the second baseman, who now has two career homers off deGrom—the first coming back on April 10, 2021, when he crushed a 100.4 mph heater at Citi Field.

But the Yankees' comeback started long before Chisholm's heroics. After falling behind 3-0 in the first inning—thanks to a bases-loaded walk, a sacrifice fly from Joc Pederson, an RBI single by Ezequiel Duran, and a wild pitch—New York needed a spark. They found it in Ryan McMahon, who crushed a two-run homer off deGrom in the second inning. That shot tied the game and put McMahon in elite company, joining Giancarlo Stanton, Freddie Freeman, and Austin Riley as the only players with at least three homers off the Rangers' ace.

Cody Bellinger kept the momentum rolling, starting with an RBI double off the top of the right-center field fence after Aaron Judge singled. Later, with Judge drawing his fourth intentional walk of the season, Bellinger delivered again with a two-run double off reliever Jalen Beeks. For good measure, Paul Goldschmidt added his 374th career home run in the eighth inning, giving the Yankees a comfortable four-run cushion.

DeGrom, who allowed six runs and seven hits over 6⅓ innings, suffered his most runs allowed since May 17, 2019, when he was with the Mets in Miami. On the other side, rookie Elmer Rodríguez made his second career start, battling through 4⅔ innings while allowing three runs, six hits, and four walks. Brent Headrick (2-0) earned the win after striking out pinch hitter Sam Haggerty with the bases loaded in the fifth, and David Bednar shut the door with a bases-loaded escape in the eighth before notching his 10th save.

The Yankees will look to keep their winning streak alive Wednesday when they send RHP Will Warren (4-0, 2.39 ERA) to the mound against Texas RHP Nathan Eovaldi (3-4, 4.76 ERA). If this team keeps swinging the bats like they did Tuesday night, there's no telling how far this hot streak can go.
