The New York Yankees fell to the Chicago White Sox 6-5 in 12 innings on July 28, 2026. The Yankees initially led with a four-run first inning, highlighted by a three-run home run from Spencer Jones. However, the team's exhausted bullpen, missing several key relievers, faltered later in the game. The White Sox capitalized on this, hitting two homers off reliever Paul Blackburn to tie the game and ultimately secure the win in extras. The Yankees' recent bullpen issues may require strategic adjustments going forward.
