Judge whacks 42nd homer, Bellinger breaks tie in 11th in Yankees' win over White Sox
Briefly

Aaron Judge hit his 42nd home run and the Yankees won 5-3 in 11 innings. Cody Bellinger delivered a tiebreaking single in a three-run 11th, followed by an RBI double from Jazz Chisholm Jr. and another run-scoring double from Anthony Volpe. Austin Wells homered and later was involved in a play that helped set up the extra-inning rally. Cam Schlittler tossed six strong innings, David Bednar earned the win in relief, and Camilo Doval recorded his 16th save and first with the Yankees. New York extended its win streak to seven, won nine straight road games, and moved within two games of Toronto.
Bellinger gave the Yankees a 3-2 lead with one out in the 11th when he blooped a single to left field against Tyler Alexander (4-13) after Judge was intentionally walked. Jazz Chisholm Jr. followed with an RBI double. After Bellinger got thrown out by first baseman Lenyn Sosa trying to score on Austin Wells' grounder, Anthony Volpe doubled in another run to make it 5-2. Wells also homered for the Yankees, who moved within two games of first-place Toronto in the AL East for the first time since the All-Star break.
Cam Schlittler tossed six sparkling innings and David Bednar (5-5) got the win in relief. Camilo Doval pitched around an RBI groundout by Will Robertson in the 11th for his 16th save this season and first with the Yankees. His first 15 came with San Francisco. Judge gave Yankees fans in attendance something to cheer in the fourth when he put New York on top 1-0 with a drive to center. Wells made it 2-1 when he connected leading off the seventh against Chicago starter Shane Smith.
