CHICAGO (AP) — Jose Abreu hit a game-ending, two-run single off Dellin Betances, and the Chicago White Sox stopped a four-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night.
Kevan Smith sparked the winning rally with a one-out walk. Betances (3-2) then walked Alen Hanson and hit Yolmer Sanchez, loading the bases.
After Melky Cabrera fouled out, Abreu hit a grounder into left field. Brett Gardner’s throw to the plate was high, and Hanson scored easily.
Abreu also had an RBI double in the third. Dan Jennings (3-1) pitched 1⅓ scoreless innings for the win.
The Yankees have dropped three of four and 11 of 14 overall.
ELLSBURY TIES ROSE RECORD — Jacoby Ellsbury of the Yankees has tied Pete Rose’s obscure record for reaching base the most times in a career on catcher’s interference.
Ellsbury did it for the 29th time Tuesday night. His bat tipped the mitt of Chicago White Sox catcher Kevan Smith on a swing in the ninth inning and Ellsbury was awarded first base.
