Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s 2-run homer in 9th lifts Yankees past Nationals

Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s 2-run homer in the ninth powered a late rally as the New York Yankees beat the Washington Nationals 5-3 on Friday night in Washington. New York trailed 3-2 when Jasson Dominguez singled with one out against Matt Krook (0-1). Chisholm then homered to right for his 13th of the season, with Austin Wells adding insurance by hitting a homer off Justin Lawrence with two outs. Washington had taken a 3-2 lead on back-to-back solo homers by Keibert Ruiz and James Wood in the seventh. Ben Rice contributed by extending New York’s lead with his third homer in two games, while Dominguez also homered earlier. David Bednar pitched the final two innings for the win. The game began after a two-hour rain delay.
