NEW YORK (AP) --- Cody Bellinger hit an early homer and finished a triple shy
of the cycle, Paul Goldschmidt homered for the third time in four games and the
surging New York Yankees used another big inning to beat the Chicago White Sox
10-5 on Wednesday night.
After Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart threw out ceremonial first pitches to
continue the celebration for the NBA champion New York Knicks, the Yankees won
their fourth straight and for the ninth time in 13 games since losing star
slugger Aaron Judge indefinitely to a fractured right rib. New York also
equaled its largest lead atop the AL East by moving 3 1/2 games ahead of Tampa
Bay.
Bellinger hit a two-run homer in the first off Anthony Kay (6-2), doubled in
the third against the left-hander and started a five-run fifth with a single.
Bellinger finished with three hits for the fifth time this season.
Goldschmidt capped New York's big inning with a three-run drive into the
right-field seats off reliever Tyler Davis, who entered after Sean Newcomb took
a liner hit by Anthony Volpe off his left triceps. Goldschmidt's homer was his
11th, surpassing his total in 146 games last season.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. became the fifth Yankees player to reach double-digit homers
this year when he went deep in the seventh for a 10-3 lead.
Jos Caballero added a two-run single in the fifth and Volpe hit an RBI triple
in the second. Ali Snchez contributed an RBI single in the second and reached
base three times.
Carlos Rodn (3-2) allowed three runs and seven hits in five innings against
his former team. The lefty struck out seven and walked one.
Colson Montgomery hit a three-run homer off Rodn in the third to get the White
Sox within 4-3. Montgomery also homered in the eighth for his first career
multihomer game.
Sam Antonacci homered in the ninth but the White Sox lost their ninth straight
game in the Bronx and fell to 5-5 in a challenging stretch of 11 straight
against the Phillies, Braves, Dodgers and Yankees.
Kay allowed four runs and six hits in four innings.

4.36) in the series finale Thursday night.
