The Yankees are 74-60, a half-game behind the Red Sox for the top AL wild-card spot and four games behind the Blue Jays in the AL East.

Relievers Fernando Cruz, Luke Weaver, Devin Williams and Mark Leiter Jr. combined for four perfect innings with seven strikeouts.
Nobody said it had to be pretty, but they just keep getting the job done with stiffer tests ahead. Coming off a sweep of the lowly Nationals, the Yankees continued to take advantage of a soft spot on the schedule with their fifth straight win, beating the White Sox 10-4 in the opener of a four-game set on Thursday night at Rate Field.
Volpe tried to make up for the costly error by going 2-for-3 with a sacrifice fly and a run scored after entering the night mired in a 1-for-37 skid. In relief of Warren, who labored through five innings, Fernando Cruz, Luke Weaver, Devin Williams and Mark Leiter Jr. combined to throw four perfect innings with seven strikeouts to close out the win.
