The New York Yankees extended their winning streak to six by beating the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.
NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge walked against Liam Hendriks with the bases loaded in the ninth inning to overcome Aroldis Chapman’s first blown save, and the New York Yankees extended their winning streak to six by beating the Chicago White Sox 5-4 on Sunday. Jameson Taillon completed a historic scoreless turn through the New York rotation. But pinch-hitter Andrew Vaughn sprinted around the bases after tying it at 4 with his one-out homer, opposite-field home to right in the ninth. It was the first blown save by Chapman (4-0) in 12 chances this year and the first earned run allowed by the closer. Clint Frazier singled off Aaron Bummer (0-3) leading off the bottom half for his first three-hit game this year, then stole second as Brett Gardner struck out. DJ LeMahieu was intentionally walked and Tyler Wade reached with an infield hit on a slow roller to second. Hendriks relieved to face Judge, who memorably hit a go-ahead, two-run homer off Hendriks in the first inning of the 2018 AL wild-card game against Oakland. Judge missed the first pitch, then took four balls for the first walk-off RBI of any kind in his big league career. This was the Yankees’ fourth walk-off victory in its last five home gams. The last Yankees’ walk-off walk came in 2010 when Juan Miranda drew it against Boston. Following Corey Kluber’s no-hitter at Texas and seven-inning scoreless starts by Domingo Germán, Jordan Montgomery and Gerrit Cole, Taillon pitched two-hit ball for five innings to extend the shutout streak by Yankees starters to 35 innings.
