White Sox Take Down Yankees

In a game heard on WHOW, Andrew Vaughn hit a two-run homer and made a terrific run-saving play at first base, helping the Chicago White Sox beat the New York Yankees 5-1 on Monday night for their third consecutive victory.

 

 

 

Luis Robert Jr. added a two-run double in Chicago's three-run eighth. 

 

 

Andrew Benintendi drove in Trayce Thompson with a sacrifice fly.

 

 

The Yankees went 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position and left 13 runners on base. They lost for the third time in four games.

 

Yankees ace Gerrit Cole (10-3) allowed four runs and five hits in seven-plus innings. He struck out three, walked two and hit a batter.

 

It was Cole's first loss this season when he started following a Yankees loss.

 

White Sox right-hander Dylan Cease (5-5) matched his career high with seven walks in 5 1/3 scoreless innings, but he struck out six and allowed one hit.

 

 

Bryan Shaw pitched two innings for his first save of the season.

 

Boone was ejected by plate umpire Laz Diaz after Anthony Volpe was called out on strikes in the eighth. After he was thrown out, Boone ran to home plate for an animated argument that appeared to include an imitation of Diaz's strike three call.

 

New York also loaded the bases against Lane Ramsey in the seventh. Billy McKinney hit a sacrifice fly to center to cut it to 2-1, but Ramsey struck out LeMahieu and Harrison Bader.

 

Yankees RHP Clarke Schmidt (7-6, 4.35 ERA) faces White Sox RHP Touki Toussaint (1-3, 3.82 ERA) on Tuesday.
