Carlos Rodón allowed one hit in 5 2/3 innings as the Yankees moved within a half-game of rival Boston for the top American League wild card. They are 5 1/2 games behind first-place Toronto in the AL East.

After dropping eight straight to the Red Sox, the Yankees improved to 2-8 in the season series.
Chisholm had his eighth career multihomer game and third this season. He went deep in the second for his 100th career homer and connected again in the eighth off Walker Buehler.
