It was a light Tuesday on the regional sports calendar, with only the Yankees in action among tracked Finger Lakes teams. New York made the most of it, handing Chicago a 12-2 beating to improve to 44-27 on the season. Jones, Rice, and Goldschmidt all went deep off White Sox starter Martin, turning what could have been a competitive mid-June matchup into a comfortable afternoon for the Bronx.
The win pushes the Yankees well above the .500 mark and keeps them among the better records in the American League. The White Sox, now 38-33, have been a surprisingly competitive club this season but had no answers for New York’s lineup on this day. Three home runs off a single pitcher tells most of the story.
Every other tracked team — the Bills, Sabres, Giants, Rangers, Knicks, Red Wings, Knighthawks, Cornell, Hobart, and Syracuse — had the day off. Expect a fuller slate as the week progresses.
