Chisholm's home run leading off the 8th gives Yankees 3-2 victory over Guardians

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered leading off the eighth inning and the New York Yankees defeated the Cleveland Guardians 3-2 on Tuesday night.

Spencer Jones also went deep with his first major league home run for the Yankees, who have won three straight and are 10-4 since May 24.

Cleveland's Angel Martínez had two hits and an RBI. The Guardians have dropped three straight and five of six. They are also 2-6 in their last eight home games.

Chisholm once again used one of Aaron Judge's bats and drove a full-count slider from reliever Tim Herrin (0-2) into the right-field stands to put the Yankees on top. It was his third homer in his last six games.

Chisholm led off the second with a walk before Jones, the 25th overall pick in the 2022 amateur draft, connected on starter Slade Cecconi's cutter down the middle of the plate and drove it 443 feet over the center-field wall.

The Yankees' bullpen pitched five scoreless innings, and Camilo Doval (2-0) got the win after working the seventh. Fernando Cruz struck out four in 1 2/3 hitless innings for his third career save and first this season. He walked the leadoff batter in the ninth before striking out the next three.

Cleveland evened it in the third on RBI hits by Chase DeLauter and Martínez. DeLauter's single to drive in José Ramírez snapped an 0-for-18 Guardians slump with runners in scoring position.

Yankees starter Gerrit Cole gave up two runs and five hits with four strikeouts in five innings. The 2023 AL Cy Young Award winner was making his fourth start this season since returning from Tommy John surgery.

Cecconi allowed two runs on six hits and struck out seven in five innings.

Yankees LHP Carlos Rodón (1-2, 2.88 ERA) faces Guardians LHP Parker Messick (6-2, 2.40) in the series finale Wednesday afternoon.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Henry Bolte hit his first career home run and the Athletics went deep five more times Tuesday night at Las Vegas Ballpark on the way to a 7-5 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.

Called up May 13 from the minors, Bolte connected on a 1-1 changeup from Robert Gasser and sent it 446 feet to right-center field to give the A's a 3-2 lead in the second inning.

Tyler Soderstrom snapped a 3-all tie with a two-run homer in the fifth, and the A's also got solo shots from Nick Kurtz, Jonah Heim and Zack Gelof.

Each member of that trio homered Monday night, too, as the A's launched seven longballs at the home of their Triple-A affiliate in a wild 15-14 loss to Milwaukee that took 12 innings to decide.

The club normally plays at its temporary home in West Sacramento, California, but is playing six games in Las Vegas this week ahead of a scheduled move in 2028 into a new stadium in the city.

The Athletics won in their future home city for the first time since April 7, 1996, when they played their first two series of the season in Las Vegas due to renovations at the Oakland Coliseum. They are 3-5 in Las Vegas all-time.

Soderstrom’s 354-foot shot marked the second straight game in which the A’s hit a homer that would not have left any major league ballpark, according to Statcast.

J.T. Ginn (4-3) got the win despite giving up five runs, eight hits and three walks in 5 2/3 innings. Elvis Alvarado struck out four in 1 1/3 scoreless innings and Mason Barnett also fanned four in two hitless innings for his first career save.

Jackson Chourio opened the scoring for the Brewers with a two-run homer in the first. Christian Yelick and Sal Frelick added RBI singles, and Frelick picked up a second RBI on a groundout.

Gasser (0-3) struck out seven in five innings but allowed eight hits, six runs and four homers. Garrett Mitchell was 3 for 4 with two doubles and two runs.

Brewers RHP Brandon Sproat (1-4, 6.17 ERA) starts the series finale Wednesday night against RHP Jack Perkins (2-3, 6.19).
