The Yankees jump to a 13 – 1 lead over Chicago in the first three innings, chasing Gavin Floyd early, but A.J. Burnett can’t make it through five innings, departing after one out in the 5th, having allowed his team’s lead to narrow to 13 – 7. Cory Wade steps in to shut down the Sox and pick up the win, with the Yankees running the final score to 18 – 7 with some late scoring. Robinson Cano hits a three-run homer in the 1st to set the tone, and Eric Chavez has a two-run shot in the 3rd, his first as a Yankee.
