CHICAGO — Aaron Judge and Kyle Higashioka homered, and the New York Yankees beat the Chicago White Sox 7-1 on Tuesday night.
Clarke Schmidt (8-6) pitched neatly into the sixth inning and combined with two relievers for 13 strikeouts, helping the playoff-contending Yankees came away with the win after losing three of four.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa hit a two-run double and scored during New York's four-run fourth against Touki Toussaint (1-5), and the Yankees scored three more in the eighth behind the long balls by Higashioka and Judge off Tanner Banks.
Higashioka, batting for Ben Rortvedt, hit a two-run drive for his first career pinch-hit homer and the first by a Yankee this season.
