Trent Grisham hit a grand slam, Anthony Volpe also homered and Carlos Rodon pitched six strong innings as the visiting New York Yankees routed the Chicago White Sox 10-2 on Friday.
Rodon, who spent the first seven seasons of his career with the White Sox, held his old team in check in his first appearance at Rate Field since September 2021.
Rodon (15-7) yielded one run and seven hits while walking two and striking out five.
New York stretched its winning streak to a season-best six games. The Yankees took a half-game lead over Boston for the first American League wild card and moved within three games of the first-place Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East.
Chicago has lost four in a row, including the past three by a combined 25 runs.
