Monday, June 17, 2019

(CHICAGO) – James Paxton pitched six effective innings. Brett Gardner and Austin Romine each had four RBI as the New York Yankees cruised past the Chicago White Sox 10-3 on Sunday. Gardner and Romine each drove in two runs with singles in New York's five-run third. Cameron Maybin added a solo shot in the seventh as the Yankees homered for the 19th straight game, and pulled away to win their second straight and gain a split of the four-game series. Paxton (4-3) allowed eight hits and allowed two runs for his first win since April 26. T he left-hander struck out seven and walked one after being roughed up by the Mets for six runs in 2 2/3 innings last Tuesday. Jose Abreu hit his 17th homer among his three hits, and James McCann homered and had 2 RBI as the White Sox slipped two games under .500. Chicago's Odrisamer Despaigne (0-2) allowed seven runs and nine hits and four walks in 4 1/3 innings in his second career start. And more help is on the way for the Yankees. Edwin Encarnacion, the AL home run leader, will join them in New York on Monday and is expected to be available in the opener of a three-game series against Tampa Bay. The Yankees acquired the 36-year-old in a trade with the Seattle Mariners on Saturday night, adding another slugger to what could be one of the most powerful lineups when Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge return from injuries, starting this week. Manager Aaron Boone plans to use Encarnacion as his team's primary designated hitter.
