With a split of the first two games, the Yankees needed another to clinch the series against the dysfunctional White Sox, and to continue their climb back to postseason relevance. They turned to Luis Severino and his 7.74 ERA, this time in a bulk role, with Ian Hamilton starting things off. They had their fair share of opportunities throughout, but the offense wasted them and Severino was awful again. It all added up to a 9-2 loss, another atrocious series, and a new contender for worst low of 2023.
The Yankees found a new way to squander two hits in the first, as Jake Bauers and Aaron Judge started things with a pair of singles, the second of which Bauers was thrown out trying to advance to third.
