Clay Bellinger blooped a go-ahead RBI single in the 11th inning and Aaron Judge and Austin Wells homered as the visiting New York Yankees defeated the Chicago White Sox 5-3 on Saturday for their seventh straight win.
The Yankees moved within two games of the American League East-leading Toronto Blue Jays while stretching their lead over the Boston Red Sox for the first AL wild-card berth to 1 1/2 games.
New York entered the 11th with just three hits but surged ahead with three more. Jazz Chisholm Jr. followed Bellinger’s single that scored automatic runner Trent Grisham with an RBI double, and Anthony Volpe delivered a run-scoring double.
Mike Tauchman and Chase Meidroth both had two hits and an RBI for Chicago, which lost its fifth straight. Andrew Benintendi also had two hits.
