Sabathia (6-8) allowed just four hits in 6 2/3 innings to win for the first time since June 16 at Minnesota. Gattis' homer in the seventh and Gonzalez's second homer of the game in the eighth cut the lead to 6-3 before Dellin Betances struck out Jason Castro looking to end the eighth and strand the bases loaded.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
CC gets back to form: It looked like a long night might be ahead when Sabathia served up a home run to the second batter he faced, but the left-hander settled in to pitch into the seventh inning and snap a winless streak that dated to June 16.
