Trevino batted for struggling catcher Kyle Higashioka and gave
the Yankees their 13th win in 16 games when he lined a 1-1
sinker from Alec Mills (0-1) over the leaping try of shortstop
Nico Hoerner into left to score automatic runner Joey Gallo from
third.
It was New York's seventh walk-off win of the season. Trevino's
second game-ending hit this season capped an inept showing at
the plate by both teams.
Chicago lost its fourth straight by going 0-for-18 with runners
in scoring position and stranding 13. New York was 0-for-18 with
runners in scoring position before Trevino won the marathon.
The Yankees became the first team since the 2017 Houston Astros
to win at least 42 of their first 58 games. New York also became
the sixth team since 1975 to win at least 42 of their first 58
games, a group that includes the 1998 Yankees, who won 114 games
en route to a World Series title.
After Clay Holmes extended his scoreless inning streak to 28
with three groundouts in the ninth, Clarke Schmidt got a pair of
inning-ending double plays in his two innings. Wandy Peralta
stranded automatic runner Rafael Ortega at third in the 12th and
rookie Ron Marinaccio (1-0) stranded two in the 13th for his
first career win.
Before the dramatic finish, the teams traded solo homers in the
middle innings.
Gleyber Torres hit his 11th homer to start the fourth for New
York while Jason Heyward hit his first of the year to open the
fifth for Chicago.
New York's Luis Severino allowed one run on seven hits in six
innings. He struck out 10, walked one and notched consecutive
double-digit strikeout games for the first time since May
30-June 4, 2018.
Chicago's Wade Miley lasted three innings in his return from a
sore left shoulder. He pitched three scoreless innings, warmed
up for the fourth before leaving with the same injury.
The Yankees went ahead when Torres blasted a first-pitch
fastball from Daniel Norris into the New York bullpen beyond the
right-center field fence. The Cubs tied it when Heyward lifted
Severino's 1-2 fastball into the left field seats for his first
homer since Sept. 8.
