Yankees Beat White Sox 3-2 Behind Solid Start From Gerrit Cole

The Yankees are getting great starts from their starting pitchers. Gerrit Cole has been outstanding in his last two starts, both losses. He was 10 for his first 10 in this game in first-pitch strikes. He kept that going tonight as the Yankees won again, 3-2. The offensive explosion that was present last night disappeared, but the great starting pitching the Yankees have gotten of late held up in this game.

As the Yankees’ trading deadline frenzy reaches a fever pitch, the team continues to get great pitching. The starting pitchers have, by and large, been good, and the relief pitchers have been great. With such great pitching performances on the mound, the team does not need to make any costly trades. What do you think they will do at the trading deadline?

Yankees and White Sox Game Summary July 28

The Yankees won their game against the Chicago White Sox last night, 9-5. Despite the loss, the White Sox are in first place in the American League Central (which is surprising), so that was a really good one. The team was hoping for another good win tonight behind a great start from re-emergent ace Gerrit Cole. Here is how the game played out.

In the second inning, Anthony Volpe doubled, and Jasson Dominguez scored. The Yankees led 1-0. Then Max Schumann doubled, and both Trent Grisham and Anthony Volpe scored. It was now 3-0 Yankees.

In the eighth inning, Chase Merodith hit a two-run home run. Braden Montgomery scored. That made the final score of the game 3-2.

Big Home Run

Yankees backup catcher Ali Sanchez hit his first career home run last night, a three-run home run in the eighth inning. The rookie said he floated around the bases and thought of his childhood in Venezuela. As a right-handed hitter, he potentially offers the team a solution to their heavy left-handed hitting lineup. Plus, he complements starting catcher Austin Wells, a left-handed hitter. However, Sanchez was not in the lineup tonight, despite the fact that the team is facing a left-handed pitcher.

Jasson Dominguez Queity Having Success

The Yankees may trade him, but it is important to point out that Jasson Dominguez is having a pretty good year. He had two hits tonight batting right-handed. That was the bugaboo for him last season, so especially on an offensively challenged team, that is important. He is playing right field for the first time in the absence of Aaron Judge, and he is playing well defensively. He deserves credit for working on his game, and always with a smile on his face.
