Toronto. The Red Sox lost 4-2 to Pittsburgh, and the Blue Jays
lost 7-2 to Milwaukee.

single. The White Sox outhit the Yankees 12-7, but they left 11
runners on base in their fourth straight loss.

two-out drive in the fourth off Yoendrys Gómez (3-2) for his
fourth career grand slam and No. 7 on the season for New York.
He has seven homers in his last 10 games and a career-high 28
overall.
Volpe hit a two-run shot off Mike Vasil in the seventh for his
19th homer. He also had an RBI single in New York's three-run
sixth.
Key moment
Grisham's 387-foot drive to right-center on a 93.7 mph fastball
staked the Yankees to a 5-0 lead.
Key stat
Gómez issued six of Chicago's nine walks.

Schlittler (2-2, 2.76 ERA) starts for New York and Shane Smith
(4-7, 3.87 ERA) goes for Chicago.
