In a thrilling matchup at Yankee Stadium, the New York Yankees continued their winning streak, defeating the Chicago White Sox with a final score of 4-2. The victory marks their fifth straight win, solidifying their position as one of the top teams in the league.
Pitching Duel
Left-hander Nestor Cortes took the mound for the Yankees and delivered an impressive performance. Over seven innings, he allowed just one unearned run, striking out six batters and walking only one. His precise control and ability to keep the White Sox hitters at bay set the tone for the game.
On the opposing side, Ian Hamilton started for the White Sox but couldn’t match Cortes’s dominance. Hamilton surrendered a run, and the Yankees capitalized on their offensive opportunities.
Powerful Bats
The Yankees’ offense came alive, led by the dynamic duo of Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. Judge launched a solo home run, while Stanton added another with his own blast over the outfield wall. Stanton also contributed with an RBI double, showcasing his versatility at the plate.

Bullpen Brilliance
Relievers Caleb Ferguson and Clay Holmes shut down the White Sox in the late innings. Their scoreless outings preserved the lead, allowing the Yankees to secure the win.
Looking Ahead
With this victory, the Yankees maintain their momentum and aim to clinch another series win. On Saturday at 1:05 p.m., Luis Gil will take the mound, hoping to continue the team’s impressive run.
