Jazz Chisholm Reaches 100 Career Homers in Emotional Yankees Win

He set a new single-season high the next night, keeping New York within a half game in the Wild Card race.

Overview

  • On Aug. 24, Chisholm hit two two-run homers against the Red Sox, the first the 100th of his MLB career, in a 7-2 win that prevented a four-game sweep.
  • Cameras showed Aaron Judge embracing a visibly emotional Chisholm after the milestone, and Chisholm said his best friend had died the day before.
  • The victory snapped an eight-game skid versus Boston and left the Yankees about a half game behind the Red Sox for an AL Wild Card spot.
  • Chisholm homered again on Aug. 25 against the Nationals to reach 25 on the season, setting a new single-season career high and giving him three homers in two games.
  • Trent Grisham also homered twice in the Boston finale, highlighting a Yankees lineup that leads MLB in home runs and has five players with at least 20.
