CHICAGO — Right before the biggest swings during the Yankees’ seven-run eighth inning, Marwin Gonzalez, Gleyber Torres and D.J. LeMahieu each worked a walk against one of baseball’s toughest relievers.
Just a little opening, and the Yankees pounced.
Giancarlo Stanton homered twice and drove in a career-best six runs, and the Yankees beat the Chicago White Sox, 15-7, on Thursday night for their fourth straight victory.
“Just a great job by the offense tonight,” Manager Aaron Boone said.
Aaron Judge and Josh Donaldson also connected for the major league-leading Yankees in the opener of an eight-game trip.
