The Yankees' five-game winning streak was snapped against the Mets on Tuesday, and the Bronx Bombers ended another streak in their 4-2 loss at Citi Field.

Their 31-game home run streak came to a close in the Subway Series opener, snapping one of the greatest power explosions in recent memory. The 2002 Rangers held the previous record after homering in 27 consecutive games

The Yankees bashed 57 homers in the 31 games, with 14 players registering a dinger. DJ LeMahieu and Gary Sanchez each tallied eight homers during the streak.
