Chisholm's HR Off deGrom Lifts Yankees Past Rangers 7-4

New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. launched a go-ahead home run off Texas Rangers ace Jacob deGrom in the sixth inning, powering New York to a 7-4 victory Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium for its fifth consecutive win and 15th triumph in 17 games.

Chisholm's 413-foot drive to right field off a 98 mph fastball erased a 3-3 tie. It marked his second career homer against deGrom, following a 100.4 mph offering at Citi Field on April 10, 2021.

Texas jumped to a 3-0 lead in the first against Yankees rookie starter Elmer Rodríguez in his second career appearance. The Rangers loaded the bases on two walks and a single by Josh Jung. Joc Pederson delivered a sacrifice fly, Ezequiel Duran added an RBI single, and Jung scored on a wild pitch.

New York answered in the second when Ryan McMahon belted a tying two-run homer off deGrom after the Yankees had yet to record an at-bat. Cody Bellinger sparked the rally earlier with an RBI double off the top of the right-center field fence following Aaron Judge's single. Bellinger later added a two-run double off reliever Jalen Beeks one pitch after Judge drew his fourth intentional walk of the season.
