The Yankees (82-61) brought the tying run to
the plate in the ninth inning after Anthony Rizzo drew a two-out
walk. Pinch-runner Duke Ellis stole second base before Anthony
Volpe struck out.
New York went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position and
stranded seven baserunners.
After being shutout in back-to-back games to begin the series,
Chicago (73-70) took a 2-0 lead in the first inning against
Gerrit Cole (6-4).
With two outs and a runner at first, Cody Bellinger reached on a
fielder's choice and Dansby Swanson moved to second base on a
fielding error by second baseman Gleyber Torres.
After Mike Tauchman walked to load the base, the Cubs
capitalized on the error when Paredes delivered a two-run single
to center field.
Cole escaped further damage by striking out Pete Crow-Armstrong
on four pitches.
Chicago was held to three hits in the victory and had a combined
total of eight hits and two runs in the three-game series.
New York scored its lone run in the second inning. Jazz Chisholm
Jr. hit a one-out double, moved to third on Rizzo's single, and
scored on Volpe's sacrifice fly.
Pitching on his 34th birthday, Cole yielded two unearned runs on
three hits over six innings. He walked one and struck out seven.
Yankees star Aaron Judge went 1-for-3 with a walk in his 12th
straight game without a home run, which is his longest streak of
the season.
Cubs left fielder Ian Happ made three stellar plays in the
field, including a diving catch on Volpe's sacrifice fly in the
second inning.
