Yankees’ brutal scoreless streak mercifully ends after 30 innings

Pop the champagne and drop the confetti: the Yankees’ nightmare is over.

The Bombers ended a 30-inning scoreless streak on Wednesday night, thanks to Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s solo shot in the bottom of the second, a homer that tied the score at 1.

Chisholm’s dinger, his 10th of the season, went 407 feet down the right-field line at Yankee Stadium off a 97.3 mph sinker from Angels hurler Jack Kochanowicz.

Cody Bellinger tacked on a second homer in the fourth inning, a 358-footer to right for a short-lived 2-1 lead.

The run-less run began on Sunday with a 2-0 shutout at the hands of the rival Red Sox and continued through the first two games of their four-game set with the Angels — an 11-inning 1-0 loss on Monday followed by Tuesday’s 4-0 defeat, their fifth straight.

It marked the first time the team has been held without a run in three straight games since September 2016.

“We are one of the best offenses in the league,” manager Aaron Boone said after Tuesday’s loss. “We’ve had a tough few days. Today I thought maybe we were pressing a little bit.”

With a run finally under their collective belt again, the Yankees can maybe press a little less now.
