 Dunn followed a leadoff single by Dayan Viciedo by crushing an
0-2 fastball from closer David Robertson (0-1) for his 10th career
walk-off homer as the White Sox won for the fourth time in five
games. Alexei Ramirez had a two-run homer among his three hits and
Daniel Webb (4-0) worked 1 1/3 hitless innings as Chicago extended
its longest home winning streak against the Yankees since beating
them nine times in a row from 1972-73.
Brian McCann clubbed a three-run homer and Derek Jeter had a pair of
hits for New York, which dropped to 1-4 over its last five games.
Robertson suffered his first blown save in 10 chances after entering
the game with two outs in the eighth.
McCann staked New York to a 3-0 lead five batters into the game,
hammering a first-pitch fastball from Hector Noesi into the Yankees'
bullpen in right. Adam Eaton scored on an error by Yankees first
baseman Kelly Johnson in the bottom of the first and reached on an
infield single in the fourth, with Alejandro De Aza coming home on
second baseman Brian Roberts' throwing error.
Ramirez homered into the seats in left with two outs in the fifth,
giving Chicago a 4-3 lead and ending Hiroki Kuroda's night, but New
York went ahead with two in the seventh as Roberts and Alfonso
Soriano led off with singles against Scott Downs. Brett Gardner
sacrificed the runners before Jake Petricka walked Jeter and
uncorked a wild pitch to bring in the tying run, leading to
Ellsbury's go-ahead sac fly and his first RBI since May 3.
