The New York Yankees delivered a commanding 12-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox at Yankee Stadium, powered by multiple home runs and strong pitching. The game featured notable contributions from Spencer Jones, Ben Rice, and Paul Goldschmidt, who each hit home runs that helped secure the decisive win.

Jones opened the scoring early with his first career home run at Yankee Stadium in the second inning. The momentum continued as Rice and Goldschmidt each connected for two-run homers in the fourth inning against White Sox starter Davis Martin, who dropped to a 9-3 record. Martin allowed four runs in the third inning following a bases-loaded walk by Jones after Martin lost an ABS challenge. Rice’s 20th homer of the season extended New York’s lead to 7-1, while Goldschmidt’s 10th homer forced Martin's exit from the game.

Rice, a native of Cohasset, Massachusetts, reached the 20-home run milestone for the second consecutive year, following a career-high 26 homers in 2025. Goldschmidt matched his home run total from the previous season, when he appeared in 146 games for the Yankees.

On the mound, Yankees starter Gerrit Cole picked up the win, allowing two runs and three hits over six innings, improving his record to 2-1. New York’s bullpen maintained control for the remainder of the game.

The Yankees added to their offensive outburst in the ninth inning, when José Caballero belted a home run off a rare pitch thrown by White Sox position player Luisangel Acuña, who delivered a 41-mph curveball.

Chicago’s lone home run came from Andrew Benintendi amid a challenging stretch for the White Sox, who hold a 5-4 record during a rigorous 11-game span against the Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Yankees.

The decisive win highlights New York’s potent lineup and pitching depth as the season progresses, while Chicago looks to rebound from a tough road trip against some of the league’s top teams.
