Yankees rally to beat White Sox 3-2 on Gerrit Cole's six‑inning shutout

New York Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole dominated the Chicago White Sox, allowing just four hits and issuing seven strikeouts over six innings. Cole's performance helped the Yankees build a three‑run lead that held despite a late White Sox surge. In the ninth inning, Chase Meidroth hit a two‑run homer to bring Chicago within one run, but the Yankees closed the game 3‑2.

The matchup also drew attention from sports‑betting promoters. Bet365 advertised a welcome bonus—bet $10 and receive $150 in bonus bets—for new users placing wagers on the Yankees‑White Sox series. The promotion noted that Yankees ace Gerrit Cole would start the series, while the White Sox were slated to start Noah Schultz. The offer required bettors to be physically located in select U.S. states and to meet a minimum deposit and odds threshold.

The Yankees entered the game without key players, as Cody Bellinger left the previous contest with a hamstring injury and the 2026 All‑Star Game MVP was placed on the injured list, adding to the team's injury concerns.
