New York. The New York Yankees continue their impressive streak, adding their seventh consecutive victory. The team managed to defeat the White Sox with a score of 5-3 in extra innings, in an exciting match played at Guaranteed Rate Field. Cody Bellinger emerged as a key figure, breaking the tie in the eleventh inning with a run-scoring single that started a three-run rally. Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Anthony Volpe also contributed with run-scoring doubles, propelling the New Yorkers to get closer to the top of the American League East Division. Captain Aaron Judge once again demonstrated his power with the bat, hitting his 42nd home run of the season, an impressive 429-foot shot to center field. With this home run, Judge reached 357 home runs in his career, just one behind Yogi Berra (358) on the Yankees’ historical list.
I’m glad to see that. Judge is about to go on another big streak and we know what it means for us when he fires up the engines.
Aaron Boone, managerAustin Wells also joined the offensive party with a solo home run in the seventh inning, his fourth in the last eight games, unleashing euphoria in the dugout. In the mound, rookie right-hander Cam Schlittler showed strength despite getting hit by a pitch on the forearm. He pitched six innings of one run with eight strikeouts, using his cutter and curve to dominate Chicago. The bullpen kept the pace, with David Bednar standing out with two flawless innings. With this streak, the Yankees have reduced a six-and-a-half-game deficit to Toronto in just one week. In addition, they have achieved nine consecutive away wins, something they hadn’t done since 1998. Now, the schedule presents challenges for the Bronx, with commitments against direct rivals like Astros, Blue Jays, Tigers, and Red Sox.We are focused on day to day. Tomorrow there is another game and then another. The important thing is to continue with this mentality.
