Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s two-run home run in the second inning Sunday night at Yankee Stadium gave the New York Yankees their first lead against the Boston Red Sox since Thursday’s series opener. It was also a personal milestone, the 100th of his career in his sixth major league season.
But Chisholm’s mind was on his best friend, who died Saturday, as he trotted the bases, crossed home plate and held back tears in the Yankees‘ dugout.
„It felt kind of surreal“, Chisholm said after the Yankees‘ 7-2 win. „I lost my best friend yesterday, so today felt like a different type of day, especially with the 100th home run coming today and everything.
