Chicago tied a season-high four homers in the
opener and earned a 6-5 victory. Jimenez hit a go-ahead two-run
homer in the seventh off Michael King after Jake Burger, Luis
Robert Jr. and Yoan Moncada connected off Luis Severino.
Vasquez, whose other start was May 26 against San Diego, helped
the Yankees win for the seventh time in 12 games after being
promoted as the 27th man for the doubleheader.
Vasquez had two on in the first after Jimenez singled, but he
retired the next 15 hitters until Sheets singled. After plunking
Robert in the back, he exited to a nice ovation from the crowd.
Clevinger (3-4) retired the first nine hitters until Willie
Calhoun opened the fourth with a double. After Calhoun's third
hit of the doubleheader, Torres blasted a first-pitch cutter to
left field for his 10th homer of the season after barely missing
a game-ending three-run drive off Kendall Graveman in the
opener.
Clay Holmes notched his seventh save after allowing a leadoff
walk to Robert and Jimenez to reach on a throwing error by
Torres. Jimenez appeared to tweak his right leg running down the
first base line and exited.
Billy McKinney, who was called up to replace Aaron Judge, added
a solo shot for his first homer with the Yankees after playing
two games for them in 2018.
Clevinger allowed three runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings.
