NEW YORK (AP) — Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a go-ahead homer off Jacob deGrom in the sixth inning, and the New York Yankees beat the Texas Rangers 7-4 on Tuesday night for their fifth straight win and 15th in 17 games.
Chisholm lifted deGrom's 98 mph fastball into the right field seats to snap a 3-3 tie. The 413-foot shot was the second baseman’s second career homer off deGrom (2-2), who allowed a homer to Chisholm at Citi Field on a 100.4 mph fastball on April 10, 2021.
Ryan McMahon hit a tying two-run homer off deGrom in the second inning after the Yankees trailed 3-0 before their first at-bats. McMahon joined teammate Giancarlo Stanton, Freddie Freeman and Austin Riley as the only players with at least three homers off deGrom.
Cody Bellinger started New York’s comeback with an RBI double off the top of the right-center field fence after Aaron Judge singled. Bellinger also had a two-run double off Jalen Beeks one pitch after Judge drew his fourth intentional walk this year.
Paul Goldschmidt added his 374th career homer in the eighth for a four-run lead.
DeGrom allowed six runs and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings. It was the most runs allowed by the two-time Cy Young award winner since May 17, 2019, for the Mets at Miami.
Texas opened the game by loading the bases on two walks and a single by Josh Jung off rookie Elmer Rodríguez. Joc Pederson hit a sacrifice fly, Ezequiel Duran hit an RBI single and Jung scored on a wild pitch.
