CHICAGO, IL — Instant Reaction to the Yankees 3-2 loss over the White Sox, dropping to 76-61 on the season.
In the top of the first inning, Aaron Judge said “All Rise” for the 358th time in his career, tying Yogi Berra for fifth on the All-Time Yankees Home Run list, with a 429 foot solo blast to give the Yankees an early 1-0 lead. It marks the first time that Judge has homered in back-to-back games since returning from the IL, which is a good sign that a hot streak might be coming, just in time for a big stretch of games over the next two weeks.

Luis Gil’s Final Line: 5.1 IP | 4 H | 2 ER | 2 BB | 7 K | 1 HR | 98-63 P/S | 3.68 ERA
Luis Gil had a really solid outing today. His day ended on a sour note, allowing a game-tying home run and a walk. Overall, his outing was solid, but his velocity was down a bit. It was also good to see that he did not walk as many batters today.
Fernando Cruz was the first out of the bullpen and faced four hitters and retired each one, staying in for the seventh after inducing an inning-ending double play to end the sixth inning in relief of Gil.
Tim Hill came on to pitch the eighth inning, and after getting two quick outs, he gives up a go-ahead home run to Sosa in the eighth inning, to give the White Sox a 3-2 lead. This came after the Yankees loaded the bases with two outs and could not get a run across.
Trent Grisham lead off the bottom of the ninth with a walk, but the Yankees could not get anything across after that.
