Neil Walker’s walk-off pinch-hit HR propels Yankees to comeback win

Modal Trigger

Neil Walker celebrates after his solo walk-off homer in the ninth inning of the Yankees' 5-4 win Tuesday night.

A night after Aaron Boone said the Yankees were “sluggish” and called their performance toward the end of Monday’s loss “crappy,” his team looked ready to repeat the effort on Tuesday.

But a pair of two-run homers by Miguel Andujar and Aaron Hicks sparked a comeback before Neil Walker ended it with a pinch-hit, one-out homer in the ninth off Dylan Covey, as the Yankees overcame a four-run deficit to beat the White Sox, 5-4, on a steamy night in The Bronx.
