ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered and Luis Gil
pitched one-run ball over 5 1/3 innings to help the New York Yankees
beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 Friday night.
Gil (1-1) allowed one run on four hits and three walks and had four
strikeouts in his third start of the season. David Bednar pitched a

Andre Pallante (6-10) allowed four runs on six
hits and three walks and struck out a season-high eight batters
in five innings for the Cardinals, who have lost three straight
games.
Victor Scott II hit an RBI double down the right field line off
Camilo Doval, and Pedro Pagés scored on a wild pitch from Luke
Weaver in the bottom of the seventh to cut the Yankees’ lead to
4-3.
Lars Nootbaar and Masyn Winn hit back-to-back doubles to right
field in the bottom of the sixth inning to put the Cardinals on
the scoreboard and chase Gil from the game.
Jason Domínguez lined a two-out RBI single to left field in the
top of the third inning to put the Yankees ahead 4-0.
Chisholm lined a two-out, two-run homer, his 21st of the season,
down the right field line to cap off a three-run first inning
for the Yankees.
Key moment
Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt entered the game as a
defensive replacement in the bottom of the eighth inning in his
first appearance at Busch Stadium since playing for the
Cardinals from 2019-2024. Goldschmidt has been dealing with a
mild right knee sprain suffered in Tuesday night’s 9-1 loss to
Minnesota.
Key stat
Judge has reached base safely in 98 of his 112 games played this
season. He went 0 for 4, but drew a walk off Matt Svanson in the
ninth inning.
Up next
Yankees LHP Max Fried (12-5, 2.94 ERA) is scheduled to oppose
Cardinals RHP Sonny Gray (11-5, 4.06) Saturday.
