The Yankees will try to match a season high with their seventh straight win and hand the Chicago White Sox their sixth consecutive loss Thursday night.
The Yankees seem to be rounding into form as they seek their first seven-game win streak since June 25-July 2. They turned in their highest-scoring effort of the year in Wednesday's 18-7 rout.
Derek Jeter had five hits, Curtis Granderson drove in five runs and Robinson Cano and Eric Chavez each had three hits and four RBIs for the Yankees, who led 13-1 after three innings.
"Guys are having good at-bats, hitting balls hard, finding holes," Jeter said. "It's not too often during a course of a season where it seems like everyone is swinging the bat well at the same time, but it's been the case for us the last few days."

The Yankees have scored at least 17 runs in a game three times in their last 13 contests. Texas, Cleveland and Washington are the only other teams in the majors to reach that total all season -- each scoring at least 17 once.
New York last swept four games in Chicago at Comiskey Park from June 17-20, 1976. The Yankees have won five straight at U.S. Cellular Field.
The reeling White Sox (52-57), meanwhile, have dropped 6 1/2 games behind first-place Detroit in the Central.
"Every game we lose is embarrassing," manager Ozzie Guillen said. "I think you get to the point where it's like what's going to happen next."
Paul Konerko appears set to return to the lineup for the first time in this series. Konerko, the team leader with 25 homers and 76 RBIs, has been sidelined by a bruised left calf suffered in Sunday's loss to Boston.
"Hopefully, he's ready tomorrow, but like I say, PK's the type of guy that when he says he's ready to go, he's ready," Guillen told the White Sox's official website. "He's not going to be a hero. Hopefully, he can help us tomorrow."
The White Sox will start Philip Humber (8-7, 3.44 ERA), who is 0-3 with a 9.00 ERA over his last three outings. Pitching for the first time in 13 days, he gave up four runs over 4 2/3 innings in Saturday's 10-2 loss to Boston.
The right-hander is searching for the form he showed in his first career start against the Yankees on April 25 when he yielded one hit in seven innings of a 2-0 road victory.
The Yankees will give Ivan Nova (9-4, 4.01) his second start since he was recalled from the minors Saturday to face Baltimore in the nightcap of a day-night doubleheader. The right-hander allowed two runs over seven innings in a 17-3 win to improve to 5-0 with a 3.26 ERA in his last six starts with New York.
Nova is 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA in two career outings against the White Sox, with Gordon Beckham going 3 for 3 against him.
