Yankees 9, White Sox 5: Ali Sánchez’s First Career Homer

Down three after one, then a catcher’s first blast

July 27, 2026 – Chicago – Rate Field handed the Yankees a 3-0 hole in the first. Max Fried’s return from the injured list did not look smooth.

New York answered with four in the fourth. Ben Rice’s two-out single in the seventh made it 5-4. Then Ali Sánchez, on a 3-2 fastball from Sean Newcomb, drove a three-run homer to left for the first long ball of his career. The New York Yankees beat the Chicago White Sox 9-5, per the Associated Press.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. had two hits, two RBIs, and two steals. Jasson Domínguez scored twice. Colson Montgomery collected three hits for Chicago. Three White Sox errors kept the door open. David Bednar closed for save No. 21 after a messy ninth.

New York’s four-run innings set the score

AthX Engine put the Yankees at 16 team fantasy points, second on Monday. Chisholm graded 9 hitting FP. The board cared about the full New York card more than any single blast. Sánchez’s first homer is still the beat-writer line.
