David Weathers was touched up again tonight, surrendering six runs (five earned) over four-and-one-thirds innings pitched. The Yankees ended up falling to the White Sox by a score of 8-4.
Paul O’Neill, who is now officially out of his slump, paced the offense by hitting a three-run home run in in the top of the fifth inning. It gave the Yankees a short-lived 4-1 lead, as Weathers would allow a five-spot in the bottom half. Bob Wickman, Dale Polley and Jim Mecir closed out the game, allowing a total of two runs.
