New York secured at least a split of the four-game weekend
series with Chicago while winning for the 17th time in 19 games
overall. The Yankees have won five in a row.
The White Sox fell to 1-9 in their past 10 games against the
Yankees, who have outscored Chicago 25-11 in the series thus
far.
Stanton, who smacked two home runs Thursday night, connected for
a two-run shot against White Sox starter Vince Velasquez with
two outs in the first inning.
Aaron Hicks and Donaldson delivered RBI doubles around DJ
LeMahieu's run-scoring groundout one inning later to push the
New York advantage to 5-0. Judge hit a solo shot in the fourth,
and Gallo followed suit in the fifth as the surging Yankees teed
off on Velasquez (2-3).
After pitching to a 0.84 ERA while winning his past two starts
entering Friday, Velasquez allowed seven runs on eight hits in
five innings with three walks and four strikeouts.
Cole (3-0) seized the run support en route to defeating the
White Sox for the third time in four career starts. He scattered
three runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings with one walk and nine
strikeouts. Cole has fanned at least nine batters in three of
his past four starts.
Chicago drew to within 7-3 on Gavin Sheets' two-run home run in
the sixth. Luis Robert reached on an infield single, his second
hit of the game, before Sheets launched his third home run in
the past four games.
Sheets also had a pair of hits. Robert scored Chicago's first
run on a Cole balk in the fourth inning. Reese McGuire capped
the scoring with an RBI single in the ninth.
Gleyber Torres and Isiah Kiner-Falefa each had two-hit games for
the Yankees along with Judge, Donaldson, Stanton and Gallo.
Donaldson had three RBIs.
