Gerrit Cole throws 6 scoreless innings for the Yankees in a 3-2 win over the
White Sox

CHICAGO (AP) --- Gerrit Cole pitched six shutout innings of four-hit ball and
the New York Yankees beat the Chicago White Sox 3-2 on Tuesday night for their
fifth victory in six games.
Anthony Volpe hit an RBI double in the second and scored on Max Schuemann's
two-run double as the Yankees (61-46) moved within 1 1/2 games of AL
East-leading Tampa Bay. Jasson Domnguez had two hits and reached base three
times.
Chase Meidroth hit a two-run homer off New York closer David Bednar with two
outs in the ninth. Bednar then struck out ex-Yankee Everson Pereira for his
22nd save.
The White Sox have lost four of five, including two consecutive games to New
York. Chicago's lead over second-place Cleveland in the tight AL Central
slipped to 1 1/2 games.
Cole (4-5) was dominant in his 12th start since coming back May 22 from Tommy
John surgery. The six-time All-Star right-hander struck out seven and walked
two.
The White Sox threatened Cole only in the fourth, when Munetaka Murakami
doubled and Cole issued two walks to load the bases before Tristan Peters
popped out to end the inning.
Anthony Kay (7-5) allowed three runs on five hits and a walk in 5 1/3 innings.
The left-hander struck out seven.
In the second, Volpe's run-scoring double went off Peters' glove as the center
fielder jumped high at the wall. Schuemann knocked in two more runs when he
bounced a grounder high over third base.
Cole helped himself by making a circus catch on Colson Montgomery's high popup
for the first out of the second inning.
Yankees infielders Amed Rosario and Volpe raced in for the ball. New York
catcher Austin Wells came out and bumped into Cole, but the right-hander fully
extended his left hand and snared the popup with his glove in front of the
mound. Cole stumbled and the ball flipped up in the air, but he caught it with
his bare hand.
Murakami has reached base safely in a career-best 14 straight games since he
was reinstated from the injured list July 10.
