The Chicago White Sox secured a comeback win against the New York Yankees in a 12-inning thriller on Wednesday. The game ended with a 6-5 score at Rate Field, where 31,694 fans witnessed Chicago earn its eighth walk-off victory of the season. Edgar Quero provided the decisive moment, hitting a single that scored Tristan Peters to seal the win in the bottom of the 12th inning.
The Yankees initially gained an early advantage with four runs in the first inning, fueled by a three-run home run from Spencer Jones. The White Sox struggled to generate offense until the late innings. The momentum shifted in the eighth when Sam Antonacci and Munetaka Murakami hit back-to-back home runs to tie the game.
Both teams remained deadlocked until the 11th inning when the Yankees grabbed a brief 5-4 lead on an Anthony Volpe sacrifice fly. The White Sox responded immediately in the bottom half of the frame when an errant pickoff throw from catcher Ali Sánchez allowed Munetaka Murakami to score the equalizing run. Jordan Hicks earned the win for Chicago after a strong relief performance, while Ryan Yarbrough took the loss for New York.
This result highlights the resilience of the current White Sox roster as they hold the lead in the AL Central. Despite the loss, the Yankees maintain a strong standing in the AL East. Both teams demonstrated significant bullpen depth throughout the contest, despite the high-leverage errors that defined the late-game scoring.
