Yankees defeat Guardians 3-2 on Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s go‑ahead homer

Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a go‑ahead solo home run in the eighth inning off Tim Herrin, giving the New York Yankees a 3‑2 victory over the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field. The blast, his fourth in nine games, broke a 2‑2 tie and proved decisive. Rookie Spencer Jones also contributed, delivering his first major‑league homer—a 443‑foot two‑run shot to straightaway center—that put New York ahead early.

Yankees starter Gerrit Cole worked four innings, allowing two runs on five hits before the bullpen—Camilo Doval, Fernando Cruz and others—delivered five scoreless frames to seal the win. The triumph moved the Yankees to a 40‑26 record, making them the first American League team to reach 40 victories this season, while the Guardians fell to 17‑16 at home after a fifth loss in six games.
