Soto's Three Homers Lift Yankees Over White Sox

Juan Soto hit three home runs for the first time in his career, leading the New York Yankees to a 4-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night. Soto's homers came in consecutive at-bats in the third, fifth, and seventh innings, driving in all four of the Yankees' runs. Nestor Cortes pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing only three hits and striking out nine, bouncing back after a rough previous game. The win helped the Yankees recover from a heavy 12-2 defeat to the White Sox the night before. The Yankees also faced the potential long-term loss of third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. due to a UCL injury. This victory moved the Yankees to first place in the AL East.
