The Yankees lost 3-2 to the White Sox at Rate Field, snapping a seven-game winning streak after Tim Hill allowed a go-ahead homer to Lenyn Sosa in the eighth. Aaron Judge finished a triple short of the cycle, hit his 43rd home run to tie Yogi Berra at 358, and flied out with the tying run on first in the ninth. Luis Gil allowed two runs in 5 1/3 innings and has not completed six innings in any start this season. The Yankees fell to 76-61, three games behind the Blue Jays in the AL East and a half-game ahead of the Red Sox for the top AL wild-card spot. The team has an off day in Houston before a three-game showdown, then series with Toronto, Detroit and Boston.
CHICAGO - The Yankees could not control how soft their schedule became over the past week, but they did take care of business almost as well as they could have. Almost. Just as the competition is about to get turned up over a two-week gantlet, the Yankees missed a chance to finish off a perfect week, falling to the White Sox 3-2 at Rate Field on Sunday afternoon to snap a seven-game winning streak.
For the second straight day, Judge put the Yankees ahead 1-0 with a home run. This one came in the first against veteran lefty Martín Pérez, who left an 0-2 cutter down the middle that Judge crushed 426 feet. The solo blast pulled Judge into a tie with Yogi Berra for fifth place on the all-time Yankees home run list with 358. Joe DiMaggio is up next at 361.
