by going 2-for-3 with a sacrifice fly and a run scored<\/a> after entering the night mired in a 1-for-37 skid.<\/p>\nIn relief of Warren, who labored through five innings, Fernando Cruz, Luke Weaver, Devin Williams and Mark Leiter Jr. combined to throw four perfect innings with seven strikeouts to close out the win.<\/p>\n

After clubbing six home runs in Wednesday\u2019s drubbing of the Nationals, the Yankees picked up where they left off as Bellinger crushed a two-run homer off Davis Martin in the top of the first inning.<\/p>\n
Chisholm then led off the second inning with a solo shot, his 26th of the season \u2014 tying him with Bellinger and (temporarily) Grisham for second on the team behind Aaron Judge.<\/p>\n
Later in the inning, Volpe reached on an error, stole second base and came around to score on Ben Rice\u2019s single that made it 4-0.<\/p>\n
The White Sox came back to tie the game in the bottom of the second on a rally that started with Volpe\u2019s AL-high 18th error of the season, booting Edgar Quero\u2019s ground ball up the middle. Warren did not help himself, either, as he issued a one-out walk and then hit a batter before recording the second out \u2014 which should have been the third out.<\/p>\n
But giving away the extra out came back to hurt the Yankees, as it often does, when Miguel Vargas crushed a grand slam off Warren that tied it 4-4.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hate that I give up the grand slam and it\u2019s back to a 0-0 game,\u201d Warren said. \u201c[But] Judgey came over and was like, \u2018Hey, we\u2019re going to put up runs.\u2019 I trust that we\u2019re going to do that, and we have the capability of putting up 10 every night.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Yankees took the lead for good in the top of the fifth. <\/p>\n
Judge hit a chopper to third that Curtis Mead fielded and threw off-target to first, putting Vargas in harm\u2019s way as his outstretched hand was clipped by Judge. <\/p>\n
Vargas hit the deck in pain as the throw skipped by him, allowing Rice to score to make it 5-4.<\/p>\n

Bellinger came up next and hit a double to right field that ex-Yankee Mike Tauchman nearly made a terrific leaping grab on, only for the ball to pop out of his glove. Judge then scored from third on Chisholm\u2019s sacrifice fly.<\/p>\n
The Yankees added on in the eighth inning, which began with the White Sox\u2019s third error of the night. <\/p>\n
That was followed by a Ryan McMahon double and a Volpe sacrifice fly before Grisham went deep for the fourth time in his past five games, a two-run shot to put the Yankees up 9-4.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re never satisfied with second place or third place,\u201d Chisholm said. \u201cWe just lost the World Series last year. That\u2019s second place, and we still weren\u2019t satisfied. I don\u2019t think we\u2019re going to be satisfied with coming in second or third in the division. That would be even more upsetting than losing the World Series.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CHICAGO \u2014 For the Yankees, this week represents the equivalent of squirrels fattening up before the winter months.…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":184246,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,1274,10624,9138,1266,405,403,2228,5226,5225,5228,5227,62,52282,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-184245","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-chicago-white-sox","10":"tag-cody-bellinger","11":"tag-jazz-chisholm","12":"tag-mlb","13":"tag-new-york","14":"tag-new-york-city","15":"tag-new-york-yankees","16":"tag-newyork","17":"tag-newyorkcity","18":"tag-ny","19":"tag-nyc","20":"tag-sports","21":"tag-trent-grisham","22":"tag-united-states","23":"tag-united-states-of-america","24":"tag-unitedstates","25":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","26":"tag-us","27":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115111408661683756","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=184245"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184245\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/184246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=184245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=184245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=184245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
