Yankees Match 10-Game Home Run Record With Fifth Straight Win as Mets Stumble and Giants Sweep

New York’s power binge has come during a soft stretch of the schedule as the AL wild-card race tightens.

Overview

  • The Yankees beat the White Sox 10-4 in Chicago behind homers from Cody Bellinger, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Trent Grisham, tying the MLB mark with 33 team home runs over a 10-game span.
  • Anthony Volpe’s AL-leading 18th error set up Miguel Vargas’ first career grand slam, but the shortstop also notched his first multihit game since Aug. 1 and added a sacrifice fly.
  • Will Warren yielded four unearned runs over five innings before the bullpen delivered four scoreless frames, and New York has won 12 of its last 16 games.
  • The Mets lost 7-4 to the Marlins after three errors, a passed ball and a bobble on the go-ahead play in the seventh, giving a game back to the NL East–leading Phillies.
  • In San Francisco, Jung Hoo Lee’s walk-off single finished a three-game sweep of the Cubs, the first time Chicago has been swept in a series of at least three games this season.
