"Multiple errors and a crumbling bullpen were no match for the Yankees sluggers, and the White Sox offense went cold early on. Davis Martin started off looking great with two strikeouts, but walked Aaron Judge with two outs. That walk would come back to haunt him as Cody Bellinger homered to right field, putting the Yankees up, 2-0, early on. The White Sox would hit into ground outs for two quick outs, but Kyle Teel and Lenyn Sosa managed back-to-back singles."
"Jazz Chisholm Jr. got hold of a fastball and opened the top of the second with a solo home run. With two outs, Sosa couldn't handle the ball on his throw to first, giving Anthony Volpe first base. Flustered, Martin issued another walk, this time to Trent Grisham, prompting a visit from Ethan Katz. Ben Rice battled and won with an RBI single as Martin's pitch count climbed. Thankfully, Judge went down swinging. Volpe collected his 18th error of the season,"
"With two outs in the fourth, Volpe doubled, pulling Martin from the game. Tyler Alexander stepped in and served up a grounder to end the frame. The Sox were retired in order. The top of the fifth would turn brutal for the Sox after Rice singled. A throwing error from Curtis Mead would give Judge first and send Rice home,"
Multiple defensive miscues and bullpen struggles allowed the Yankees to build and extend a lead early. Davis Martin issued critical walks and committed throwing errors, enabling Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger to score and set the tone. Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Miguel Vargas delivered key homers, including Vargas's first career grand slam that tied the game. Repeated errors, a rising pitch count, and a midgame pitching change shifted momentum. A chaotic fifth inning featured another throwing error, a collision that removed Vargas, and timely singles that produced runs, leaving the White Sox offense stifled and the Yankees ahead.
