Jazz Chisholm Jr. Hits Game-Winning HR in Yankees 3-2 Guardians Victory

Jazz Chisholm Jr. made a strong return from a strained right oblique injury by hitting a go-ahead home run in the seventh inning, helping the New York Yankees secure a 3-2 victory over the Cleveland Guardians. Carlos Rodón continued his impressive pitching streak, earning his seventh straight win by going seven innings, allowing just one run and striking out eight, while extending his scoreless innings to 20 before giving up a run in the seventh. Anthony Volpe followed Chisholm's homer with his own, marking the Yankees' fifth instance of back-to-back homers this season. The Yankees’ offense struggled initially against Tanner Bibee, who held them hitless until the fifth inning, but timely hitting by Chisholm and DJ LeMahieu provided crucial runs. Devin Williams returned as closer due to Luke Weaver's hamstring injury and secured the save despite allowing a late RBI single. Defensively, Chisholm also made a notable play at third base, and the bullpen overall managed to hold off the Guardians’ attempts to rally late in the game.
