Here's a list of all the times since 2000 that one team has hit at least 5 homers in 2 consecutive games:

No team since 2000 has done it three times in a row, although the Yankees have a shot today against the White Sox. Amazing that they hit 13 HR in the last 2 games and ARod didn't hit a single one of them.

    Yankees hit 15 HRs in the three games with White Sox. Is it the record of most HRs for a single team in consecutive three games?
