Overview

  • The Yankees overcame an early 3-0 deficit to beat the Chicago White Sox 9-5 in the series opener Monday with late rallies in the fourth, seventh and eighth innings.
  • Ali Sánchez hit his first major-league home run, a three-run shot in the eighth that broke the game open and capped a four-run frame for New York.
  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. returned to the lineup and produced a two-run double, two hits and two steals that keyed the fourth-inning rally that tied the game.
  • Max Fried made his second start since returning from the injured list but left after roughly three innings under a controlled pitch plan after allowing three runs.
  • With Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger sidelined, manager Aaron Boone has tested lineup moves like Anthony Volpe batting fifth and Spencer Jones in center as the club weighs needs before the trade deadline.
