Chicago collected a season-high 10 extra-base
hits en route to its first home win since July 10.
New York stranded 16 runners and finished 2-for-18 with men in
scoring position. The Yankees fell a half-game behind the idle
Baltimore Orioles for the American League East lead.
Dominic Fletcher had three hits for the White Sox while Andrew
Benintendi added two. Three of Sheets' hits were RBI doubles.
The Yankees struggled to keep pace amid starter Luis Gil's
struggles, falling to 2-4 in their past six games.
Gil (12-6) scattered four runs and seven hits in four innings,
with two walks and three strikeouts. He lost for the first time
since July 7.
Touki Toussaint picked up the victory in relief to improve to
1-2. Toussaint gave up one hit and one walk and struck out one
in 1 1/3 scoreless innings.
White Sox starter Ky Bush, a rookie left-hander, encountered the
control issues that soured his major league debut last week but
pitched effectively out of jams.
After walking five and hitting a batter in four innings at
Oakland on Aug. 5, Bush issued seven walks in his 4 2/3 innings
against the Yankees. He yielded two runs and six hits with two
strikeouts.
New York loaded the bases in the second and fourth innings but
emerged with no runs.
Aaron Judge opened the scoring with a first-inning RBI single
after Bush walked the first two batters he faced.
The Yankees drew to within 4-2 on Anthony Volpe's run-scoring
infield single in the fifth. Jazz Chisholm Jr. (left elbow) was
injured while sliding home and will undergo further testing
Tuesday.
Judge and Chisholm Jr. had two hits each.
Chicago put the game out of reach with a six-run seventh inning,
which featured six straight hits against Yankees reliever Enyel
De Los Santos. Baldwin punctuated the outburst with a three-run
homer.
