Chicago White Sox star Tim Anderson hushes booing New York Yankees fans with home run in win

NEW YORK -- Tim Anderson hit a three-run homer and then put a finger to his lips to silence fans booing and chanting "Jackie" at him, capping a tumultuous weekend at Yankee Stadium and helping the Chicago White Sox beat New York 5-0 Sunday night for a doubleheader sweep.

"What a day," White Sox manager Tony La Russa said.

A day after Anderson, who is Black, said he was offended by Yankees slugger Josh Donaldson, who is white, calling him "Jackie," the All-Star shortstop didn't play in the first game. AJ Pollock hit a tiebreaking homer off Aroldis Chapman in the ninth inning as the White Sox won 3-1.
