Lenyn Sosa broke a 2-2 tie with a 418-foot shot to center in the bottom of the eighth to give the White Sox their first win of the four-game series \u2014 but it was Mike Tauchman\u2019s well-timed leap in the third that made it possible.<\/p>\n

To that point the Yankees had taken a 1-0 lead on Aaron Judge\u2019s 426-foot blast off Mart\u00edn P\u00e9rez in the first, and the Sox had tied it up on back-to-back doubles off of Luis Gil in the second by Curtis Mead and Will Robertson \u2014 Robertson\u2019s first White Sox hit and second of his brief career. New York regained the lead on their own back-to-back doubles by Judge and Cody Bellinger, bringing Giancarlo Stanton to the plate:<\/p>\n

Tauchman\u2019s perfectly-timed jump kept it 2-1 until Colson Montgomery sent a wall-skimmer 412 feet to center for his 10th dinger of August to tie the game again in the sixth.<\/p>\n

P\u00e9rez and Gil each struck out seven and issued two walks while giving up two earned runs, with five hits off P\u00e9rez in six innings and four off Gil in 5 1\/3. The bullpens kept things quiet despite Cam Booser walking two to load the bases in the top of the eighth before coaxing a grounder to end the inning.<\/p>\n

That set the stage for Sosa\u2019s heroics on a 1-2 sinker from Tim Hill \u2014 who had been with the Sox long enough last year to chalk up a 5.87 ERA.<\/p>\n

The win staved off a possible four-game sweep and ran the Sox record to 49-88, 9-19 of that in August. They have seven more games without a day off coming up, with upcoming trips to Minnesota and Detroit.<\/p>\n
