Yankees offense gets help from unlikely source to pick up Max Fried in win over White Sox - New York Post

What the report says

The New York Post reported that the New York Yankees rallied from an early deficit to beat the Chicago White Sox 9-5 on Monday night at Rate Field in Chicago, with an undermanned lineup carrying the club after a difficult start from Max Fried. Fried, in his second start back from the injured list and still on a limited pitch count, allowed three runs in a long first inning and lasted three innings on 66 pitches. The Yankees improved to 60-46, while the White Sox fell to 55-50.

Manager Aaron Boone had said before the game that the Yankees would need contributions throughout the roster while Cody Bellinger is sidelined by a Grade 2 hamstring strain, adding to absences for Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. According to the Post, that happened in uneven but effective fashion: Jazz Chisholm Jr. recovered from an early defensive mistake to produce two hits, two RBIs, two runs and two steals, including a tying two-run double in the fourth inning.

Ali Sánchez delivered the night’s decisive swing with his first career home run, a three-run shot in the eighth that stretched the lead to 9-4. Ben Rice had put New York ahead for good with an RBI single in the seventh, and Max Schuemann helped preserve a narrow lead by starting a relay that cut down Colson Montgomery at the plate.

The win mattered for a Yankees team that had been struggling to generate runs, scoring more than five for only the third time in 33 games, according to the Post. Despite defensive issues and a late White Sox threat, David Bednar recorded the final out.
