"Gómez walked the first three batters of the game (Trent Grisham, Aaron Judge, and Cody Bellinger), as the Yankees threatened to break the game wide open in the first. However, Gómez located a sinker to Ben Rice quite nicely, and Rice grounded into a double play. Although the Yankees scored the first run of the game on that grounder, the threat of a huge inning was mostly gone. Gómez got Giancarlo Stanton to line out to end the inning, so the deficit remained at one."
"but a walk to Austin Wells loaded the bases and extended the inning for Grisham. Gómez missed with an inside curveball, and the 1-0 pitch was a borderline sinker that went Grisham's way. Then, Gómez threw a four-seamer that caught the heart of the plate, and Grisham did not miss it. Grisham launched a 391-footer to right-center that would have been a homer in every MLB ballpark except Kauffman and Oracle. Just like that, the Yankees had a 5-0 lead."
The Yankees defeated the White Sox, extending their winning streak to six games. Yoendrys Gómez started for Chicago and struggled with command, walking the first three batters. A Ben Rice grounder into a double play limited the early damage to one run. In the fourth, Stanton reached on catcher interference and Jazz Chisholm Jr. drew a walk. Gómez struck out Ryan McMahon and got Anthony Volpe to fly out, but a walk to Austin Wells loaded the bases. Trent Grisham then hit a 391-foot three-run homer to right-center, creating a 5-0 lead. Gómez finished four innings with six walks and six strikeouts.
