It’s safe to say the Rogers Centre has been especially kind to the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> as of late.<\/p>\n

After taking down the New York Yankees<\/a> 4-1 on Monday night, the AL East-leading Blue Jays set a new franchise record with their 11th consecutive home win as they improved to 59-41 on the season \u2014 tied for the second-most wins in MLB this season.<\/p>\n

It’s been a month since Toronto lost at home, their last defeat at the Rogers Centre coming against the Chicago White Sox on July 22.<\/p>\n

“It’s never hard to get up for a game (in Toronto),” relief pitcher Jeff Hoffman told Sportsnet’s Hazel Mae after picking up a save on his bobblehead night. “The fans show up, they show out, and they’re loud. We love playing in front of them and we’re excited to keep it going.”<\/p>\n

Since then, the Blue Jays have gone 18-5 overall, including three home-series sweeps, the first of which was against the Yankees. After taking that four-game set, Toronto then swept the Los Angeles Angels and San Francisco Giants before its record-setting win against New York.<\/p>\n

The previous recorded 10-game home win streak was strung together by the 1985 Blue Jays, who went on to win the AL East with a 99-62 mark.<\/p>\n

Monday’s victory came courtesy of a total team effort, starting with Kevin Gausman, who pitched seven innings of one-run ball to go with eight strikeouts. The lone score he allowed came from a solo home run by Giancarlo Stanton in the fourth inning. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the top of Toronto’s batting order did its part as well, as all three of George Springer, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette scored runs as part of a four-run fifth inning.<\/p>\n

Bichette would drive in both Springer and Guerrero on a two-run double and later score thanks to a Yankees throwing error in the frame.<\/p>\n

The Blue Jays continue their three-game homestand against the Yankees Tuesday, looking to improve upon what’s now a four-game lead atop the AL East.
