Gleyber Torres homered late and singled home the winning run in the ninth inning as the Yankees — moments after a turning a clutch triple play — beat the Chicago White Sox, 2-1, Friday night following one of the most overpowering displays of starting pitching in major league history.
White Sox lefty Carlos Rodon and counterpart Jordan Montgomery combined for 24 strikeouts during the first game since 1900 in which both starters had at least 10 strikeouts while permitting no walks or runs, according to Stats.
Prized rookie Andrew Vaughn hit a sharp grounder toward third, where Gio Urshela stepped on the bag and went around the horn to nip Vaughn and suddenly end the inning as first baseman Luke Voit make a long stretch.
