Yankees right-hander Clarke Schmidt was the
winner, spacing one run and four hits in 5 1/3 innings with one
walk and seven strikeouts. Schmidt (8-6) has won four of his
past five starts.
Reliever Michael King preserved a three-run advantage in the
sixth by striking out Yoan Moncada and Andrew Vaughn with two
men on base.
White Sox pitchers fanned 17 batters, but Chicago fell to 0-11
this season when recording 14 strikeouts or more.
Billy McKinney and Isiah Kiner-Falefa had two hits apiece for
the Yankees. Higashioka delivered the club's first pinch-hit
home run this season with a two-run shot in the eighth, and
Gleyber Torres extended his hitting streak to eight games.
Chicago starter Touki Toussaint limited the Yankees to one hit
in the first three innings while scattering two walks and six
strikeouts. He encountered trouble in the fourth, however,
allowing six straight New York hitters to reach base - four via
hit and two by walk.
Kiner-Falefa lined a two-run double to center field to open the
scoring, and Bader had an RBI single one batter later. Jake
Bauers capped the rally with a run-scoring sacrifice fly.
The White Sox got a run back when Luis Robert smacked a solo
home run leading off the bottom of the fourth. It was Robert's
team-leading 31st home run of the season.
Toussaint (1-5) allowed four runs and six hits in five innings,
with five walks and nine strikeouts.
Eloy Jimenez had two hits for the White Sox.
Chicago catcher Yasmani Grandal left the game with left knee
soreness and is day-to-day.
Shortstop Tim Anderson was out of the lineup with a bruised left
forearm he suffered after being hit by a pitch during Monday's
game. Anderson is appealing a six-game suspension for his role
in a benches-clearing incident during Saturday's game against
the Cleveland Guardians.
