The White Sox scored three unanswered runs in the second half to beat the Yankees 3-2 at Rate Field. Luis Gil allowed two runs on four hits over 5.1 innings, including a sixth-inning solo homer to Colson Montgomery that erased New York's 2-1 lead. Aaron Judge hit a first-inning solo to tie Yogi Berra at 358 career homers and finished 3-for-5, improving his season slash line to .324/.443/.674 with 43 homers and 97 RBI. Tim Hill surrendered the go-ahead eighth-inning solo by Lenyn Sosa. New York's seven-game win streak ended and the loss dims wild-card momentum.
RHP Luis Gil's August ends with a solid outing but disappointing finish. He threw 98 pitches (63 strikes), yielded two runs on four hits, struck out seven and walked two in 5.1 IP. Gil's sixth-inning solo home run allowed to Colson Montgomery was costly, though, squandering New York's 2-1 lead with one out in the sixth inning and leaving the bullpen to sort through the final few frames.
Captain Aaron Judge's second home run in as many days, a first-inning solo shot that put New York on the board, ties him with legendary catcher Yogi Berra among all-time Yankees at 358 career home runs. Judge's 3-for-5 afternoon, which included his third-inning double and fifth-inning single, sees him slashing .324/.443/.674 with 43 home runs and 97 RBI in 127 games this season.
LHP Tim Hill allowing the go-ahead home run, a solo shot by Lenyn Sosa, with two outs in the eighth inning was the turning point for New York's late-game collapse. Hill (2.93 ERA, 1.09 WHIP), who allowed a run on three hits in this past Friday's 10-2 win, is trending the wrong way. The Yankees' win streak snaps at seven games, and the recent victorious trend closed the gap with the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East,
