White Sox eliminated with 2-1 loss to Yankees

“I had couple of family and friends (here)”, said Olt, who has three home runs in 60 at-bats with the White Sox.

After a tribute before their first home game since their former great Yogi Berra died, the Yankees closed within three games of idle Toronto in the AL East. New York cut its magic number to six for clinching at least a wild-card slot.

Chicago stopped its three-game skid and a nine-game losing streak at Yankee Stadium with its first victory in the Bronx since June 29, 2012.

The Yankees wound up scoring enough runs to not need Andrew Miller in the ninth, but offensively, this remain a game of missed opportunities. The next step is for him to test the hamstring by running and doing fielding drills and those activities would likely be Monday.
