White Sox Claim Victory Over Yankees

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago White Sox celebrated a much-needed victory on Monday night, defeating the New York Yankees 12-2, marking interim manager Grady Sizemore's first win. This triumph comes after a dismal stretch where the White Sox lost 24 of their last 25 games. The team showcased a powerful performance, setting season highs with 12 runs and 18 hits, bouncing back after losing their first two games under Sizemore, who stepped in following the dismissal of Pedro Grifol. Gavin Sheets led the charge with a career-high four hits and four RBIs, contributing significantly to the team's offensive explosion. He recorded RBI doubles in the first, fifth, and seventh innings, and added a single in the eighth. Andrew Vaughn also shone with four hits and two runs scored, narrowly missing a home run that would have marked his 300th career hit. The White Sox's offensive depth was evident as they capitalized on the Yankees' pitching struggles. On the mound, White Sox pitcher Bush allowed two runs and six hits over 4 2/3 innings in his second major league start, despite walking seven batters. Yankees pitcher Gil struggled, giving up four runs and seven hits in four innings. The Yankees faced additional challenges as third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. exited the game with a left elbow injury, raising concerns for the team. Looking ahead, Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes aims to recover from a recent poor outing, while White Sox right-hander Jonathan Cannon seeks to build on his previous success as both teams prepare for their next matchup.
