The Yankees went 1-for-12 with men in scoring
position while leaving 13 runners on base. New York fell 5 1/2
games behind the Toronto Blue Jays for the final American League
wild-card spot.
Vaughn connected against Yankees starter Gerrit Cole with one
out in the second inning for the only offense the White Sox
would need. He had two of Chicago's six hits on the night.
Luis Robert Jr. punctuated a three-run eighth with a two-run
double.
Chicago pitching stranded the bases loaded twice. Starter Dylan
Cease opened the second inning by walking the first three
hitters he faced. He then induced a pair of flyouts to left
field before making an athletic play to retire Jake Bauers on a
slow roller.
Bauers was robbed of potential extra bases in the sixth. With
the bases loaded and two outs, Vaughn dove to stop a grounder
down the first-base line, then raced to beat Bauers to the bag
with a sliding play.
That preserved a 2-0 lead and a scoreless outing for Cease, who
exited after yielding his lone hit of the night, a DJ LeMahieu
single with one out in the sixth. Cease (5-5) scattered seven
walks and six strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings while throwing 58 of
his 104 pitches for strikes.
Chicago's relief corps delivered 3 2/3 innings of one-run ball.
Bryan Shaw pitched two scoreless innings for the save.
Cole pitched seven-plus innings. He fell to 10-3 after spacing
four runs and five hits with two walks and three strikeouts.
Billy McKinney drove in the Yankees' run with a sacrifice fly in
the seventh. Aaron Judge had two hits.
White Sox bench coach Charlie Montoyo managed the game in place
of Pedro Grifol, who served a one-game suspension for his role
in Saturday's benches-clearing brawl at Cleveland. Shortstop Tim
Anderson was in the starting lineup upon appealing his six-game
suspension for fighting the Guardians' Jose Ramirez. Anderson
later left the game with a bruised left forearm.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected in the eighth inning for
arguing balls and strikes.
