In a stunning display, the Chicago White Sox defeated the New York Yankees 12-2, with Gavin Sheets leading the charge by recording a career-high four hits and driving in four runs.

This victory marked a significant milestone for interim manager Grady Sizemore, as it was his first win after taking over from Pedro Grifol, who was fired just days earlier.

Historically, this game was notable as it was the first instance since 1934 where a team with the worst record defeated a team with the best record by 10 or more runs in July or later.

The White Sox set season highs with 12 runs and 18 hits, effectively snapping a dismal streak of 24 losses in their last 25 games.

Rookie pitcher Ky Bush contributed to the win by allowing two runs over 4⅔ innings while striking out seven, despite walking seven batters.

Touki Toussaint earned the win in relief for the White Sox, while Yankees pitcher Luis Gil took the loss.

In addition to Sheets, Korey Lee and Brooks Baldwin also homered, with Baldwin's three-run shot helping to fuel a six-run seventh inning.

Sheets' performance included multiple doubles, contributing significantly to the team's scoring across the first, fifth, and seventh innings.

Andrew Vaughn also played a key role, adding four hits and scoring two runs to bolster the White Sox's offensive effort.

On the Yankees' side, Aaron Judge managed to double in a run but fell short of hitting his 300th home run during the game.
