The White Sox took their second consecutive series since their trade deadline dismantling, hanging on to beat the Yankees, 9-2, in a game that we can only wish we had more of over the last two years.
The top of the Sox order went quietly in the first, save for a rare Luis Robert Jr. walk. But the Yankees’ decision to use Ian Hamilton as an opener in front of typical starter Luis Severino didn’t solve the issues that have been plaguing the two-time All-Star this season. Yoán Moncada welcomed Severino in the game with a hustle double to lead off the second, and he came home just moments later on a Yasmani Grandal single.
