NEW YORK (AP) — Still leading the AL Central by a comfortable margin, Adam Eaton and the Chicago White Sox headed home, eager for a break.
The White Sox broke down in too many places and lost for the 13th time in their last 15 games at Yankee Stadium, 7-5 Sunday.
An untimely error by second baseman Brett Lawrie, a poor start by Miguel Gonzalez and a shaky bullpen left Chicago 2-4 on its swing through Texas and New York.
Eaton was a bright spot, hitting a home run and also squeezing home a run.
The White Sox have dropped four of five overall. The Yankees overcame a hiccup by reliever Dellin Betances to finish 7-3 against the White Sox, Kansas City and Boston, a much-needed boost for the last-place team.
