"To that point the Yankees had taken a 1-0 lead on Aaron Judge's 426-foot blast off Martín Pérez in the first, and the Sox had tied it up on back-to-back doubles off of Luis Gil in the second by Curtis Mead and Will Robertson - Robertson's first White Sox hit and second of his brief career. New York regained the lead on their own back-to-back doubles by Judge and Cody Bellinger, bringing Giancarlo Stanton to the plate:"
"Pérez and Gil each struck out seven and issued two walks while giving up two earned runs, with five hits off Pérez in six innings and four off Gil in 5 1/3. The bullpens kept things quiet despite Cam Booser walking two to load the bases in the top of the eighth before coaxing a grounder to end the inning."
"That set the stage for Sosa's heroics on a 1-2 sinker from Tim Hill - who had been with the Sox long enough last year to chalk up a 5.87 ERA. The win staved off a possible four-game sweep and ran the Sox record to 49-88, 9-19 of that in August. They have seven more games without a day off coming up, with upcoming trips to Minnesota and Detroit."
Lenyn Sosa delivered a 418-foot go-ahead home run in the bottom of the eighth to give the White Sox the win. Mike Tauchman made a well-timed leap in the third that kept the score 2-1 until Colson Montgomery tied the game with a 412-foot homer in the sixth. Aaron Judge opened with a 426-foot blast, and both teams produced back-to-back doubles. Martín Pérez and Luis Gil each struck out seven and allowed two earned runs. Cam Booser loaded the bases in the eighth but escaped, and the win avoided a four-game sweep, moving Chicago to 49-88.
