Chisholm hits tiebreaking homer in return from injured list to lead Yankees
past Guardians 3-2
NEW YORK (AP) --- Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a tiebreaking home run in his return
from a month on the injured list, Carlos Rodn won his seventh straight
decision and the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Guardians 3-2 on Tuesday
night for their 11th win in 14 games.
Back from a strained right oblique that caused him to miss 28 games, Chisholm
pulled a fastball into the first row of the right-center seats against Tanner
Bibee (4-6) for a 2-1 lead in the seventh inning. Six pitches later, Anthony
Volpe drove a sweeper into the left-field stands, giving the Yankees
back-to-back homers for the fifth time.
Rodn (8-3) allowed one run and five hits in seven innings with eight
strikeouts and one walk. He extended his scoreless streak to 20 innings and
retired 17 straight batters entering the seventh, when Jos Ramrez singled,
stole second and came around when David Fry bounced a single past DJ LeMahieu
at second base. Rodn stranded runners at the corners.
Devin Williams, back as closer after Luke Weaver strained a hamstring, allowed
Carlos Santana's one-out double and pinch-hitter Daniel Schneemann's two-out
RBI single in the ninth, then retired Bo Naylor on a flyout for his sixth save
in seven chances.
LeMahieu's fifth-inning single drove in Chisholm, who had blooped a single for
the Yankees' first hit.
Chisholm moved to third base from second, where LeMahieu is starting, and made
a fine throw from foul territory to retire Angel Martnez in the third.
Bibee threw a season-high 107 pitches, allowing three runs and four hits in 6
1/3 innings.
Fry, whose 10th-inning homer beat the Yankees in Game 3 of last year's American
League Championship Series, went 1 for 3 as the designated hitter in his first
start following reconstructive right elbow surgery in November. He struck out
Sunday as a pinch hitter in his season debut.
Key moment Aaron Judge twice juggled and then dropped Martnez's two-out fly in the right-field corner in the sixth, but a video review ruled fan interference on the ball just over the concrete between the field and the stands.
Key stat Bibee has given up 14 homers, including 11 on the road.
Up next Yankees RHP Clarke Schmidt (2-2) and Guardians RHP Luis Ortiz (2-6) start Wednesday. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB
