Cortes (1-1) allowed one run on seven hits against a hot-hitting
Chicago squad that entered the game with 14 runs in the first
two games of the series. He walked one and whiffed seven as New
York won the rubber game of the series.
Rougned Odor and Luke Voit each hit two-run homers to lead the
Yankees. Brett Gardner doubled and drew a pair of walks.
Andrew Vaughn hit a solo homer for Chicago, which dropped its
second series in a row.
White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito (9-9) failed in his bid to
notch double-digit victories for the third time in his career.
He gave up three runs (two earned) on six hits in four innings.
He walked three and struck out eight.
Yankees relievers Stephen Ridings, Jonathan Loaisiga, Lucas
Luetge and Wandy Peralta combined to preserve the victory for
Cortes.
The Yankees jumped on Giolito for a 3-0 lead in the second.
Odor opened the scoring with a two-run shot to right-center
field. The 402-foot blast marked Odor's 14th homer of the season
but only his second since July 27.
DJ LeMahieu singled three batters later and came around to score
on a double by Gardner, coupled with a throwing error by White
Sox second baseman Cesar Hernandez.
The White Sox got on the scoreboard in the sixth thanks to a
solo shot by Vaughn. The rookie out of Cal turned on a 1-1 pitch
for his 14th homer.
New York added two more runs in the ninth. Giancarlo Stanton led
off the inning with a double to right field, and Voit followed
moments later with a two-run blast to left field for his fifth
homer.
An RBI double by Zack Collins pulled the White Sox within three
runs in the bottom of the ninth. Tim Anderson followed with an
RBI infield single to cut the deficit to 5-3.
