Overview
- New York beat the White Sox 5-3 in 11 innings, with Aaron Judge’s 42nd homer preceding Cody Bellinger’s tiebreaking single as Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Anthony Volpe added RBI hits.
- The victory extended a season-best winning streak to seven and marked the club’s ninth straight road win, its first such run since early 1998.
- With Toronto losing, the Yankees moved within two games of the AL East lead and widened their edge for the top wild-card spot to 1.5 games over Boston.
- Rookie Cam Schlittler worked six strong innings before David Bednar earned the win and Camilo Doval recorded his first Yankees save after Devin Williams allowed the tying run.
- The surge has been powered by an MLB-leading 230 home runs, yet pitching volatility and upcoming series against Houston, Toronto, Detroit and Boston will gauge how sustainable it is.
