Yankees received nine walks and benefited from an error, then added seven hits to score ten runs in a 10-2 victory over the White Sox. Carlos Rodón pitched effectively enough to work past Chicago while the offense exploited White Sox wildness, including Yoendrys Gómez issuing multiple walks and Trent Grisham hitting a grand slam in the fourth. Ben Rice produced an early run despite grounding into a double play, and Chicago managed a fifth-inning rally with singles by Andrew Benintendi and Michael A. Taylor. The win extended New York’s streak to six and moved them into second in the AL East, three games behind Toronto.
Well, on Friday night, the Yankees showed exactly what a team should do in those situations. In the second game of the series against the White Sox, the Yankees were the beneficiaries of nine walks and an error. After a bit of a slow start, they proceeded to add seven hits to that walk total, as they put up 10 runs.
A couple innings later, the Yankees did take advantage of the wildness. Giancarlo Stanton led off the fourth by reaching on a catcher's interference on the White Sox Edgar Quero. Gómez then walked Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Austin Wells to again load the bases. This time, Grisham made the most of it, going deep for a grand slam to break the game open.
