The Yankees' offense was particularly explosive in the second and fourth innings, where they scored two and three runs respectively.

The team's batting average stood at an impressive .294 for the game, with an on-base percentage of .314 and slugging percentage reaching .529. These statistics underscored a dominant performance against the White Sox's pitching staff.


On the mound for the Yankees, Carlos Rodón claimed his fifth win of the season, showcasing his skill with an effective outing that limited Chicago to just two earned runs over six innings pitched.
