The New York Yankees (59-55) bounced back with a 7-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox (46-69) on Tuesday night at Guaranteed Rate Field.
New York plated four of its seven runs in the fourth inning. Isiah Kiner-Falefa smoked a two-run double, Harrison Bader ripped an RBI single, and Jake Bauers launched a sacrifice fly.
Kyle Higashioka crushed a pinch-hit two-run home run in the eighth, and one batter later, Aaron Judge went deep. It was Higashioka’s seventh long ball of the season and Judge’s 21st.
Clarke Schmidt allowed one run over 5 2/3 innings while striking out seven. Michael King came on in relief and struck out five over 2 2/3 innings before Jonathan Loáisiga recorded the final three outs in his first appearance since April 5.
The Yankees will try to win the series on Wednesday at 8:10 p.m. Luis Severino will take the ball as he looks to get on track and turn his season around.
