The Yankees defeated the White Sox 5-3 in 11 innings at Rate Field, marking their seventh straight win. Cody Bellinger, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Anthony Volpe delivered opposite-field, run-scoring hits off Tyler Alexander in the top of the 11th. Devin Williams had surrendered a 2-1 lead in the seventh. David Bednar produced two scoreless frames and stranded the potential winning run at third in the 10th before Camilo Doval retired the White Sox in order in the 11th, allowing only the automatic runner to score. The win moved the Yankees closer to the division lead and improved their wild-card position.
After a small-ball approach did not work in the 10th inning, the Yankees strung an old-fashioned rally together in the top of the 11th to capture their seventh straight win, 5-3 over the White Sox at Rate Field. Cody Bellinger, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Anthony Volpe all went the other way for run-scoring hits off lefty reliever Tyler Alexander to lift the Yankees (76-60) in dramatic fashion after Devin Williams had blown a 2-1 lead in the seventh inning.
In relief of David Bednar, who threw two scoreless frames (including stranding the winning run at third base in the bottom of the 10th), Camilo Doval retired the White Sox (48-88) in order in the 11th, allowing the automatic runner to score but nothing else. With the Blue Jays losing again, the Yankees pulled within two games of them for the division lead - the closest they have been since the All-Star break.
Volpe led off the top of the 10th by laying down a sacrifice bunt that moved automatic runner Austin Wells to third. But that was quickly erased as Ryan McMahon hit a chopper to second with the infield in and Wells, who was running on contact, was easily thrown out before he ever got close to home plate. The Yankees eventually stranded a pair of runners when Trent Grisham struck out chasing a ball in the dirt.
