Jazz Chisholm homers twice as Yankees outlast Phillies in 12-inning thriller in battle of elites
NY Post
PHILADELPHIA — The Yankees may not have won the trade deadline, but their top two prizes from it had a major hand in winning them a game on Tuesday.
Three games into his Yankees career, Jazz Chisholm Jr. is acing the test both offensively and defensively with flying colors.
And reliever Mark Leiter Jr. looked the part, too, in his Yankees debut just hours after being traded from the Cubs.
Chisholm crushed two more home runs and drove in five runs before Leiter kept the Yankees alive with a scoreless 10th inning so they could win it in 12, 7-6, over the Phillies at a sold-out Citizens Bank Park.
Gleyber Torres drove in the winning run with a sacrifice fly in the top of the 12th inning and then Michael Tonkin blanked the Phillies in the bottom half, in his second inning of work, to secure the Yankees’ fourth straight win and second straight series victory.
“That’s a great win — really, really gritty,” manager Aaron Boone said. “Jazz had an enormous night and then even when we gave up some runs or whatever, just a lot of gritty performances over and over out of the pen.”
