Yankees stumble in doubleheader as White Sox surge
Yogi Berra faces growing concern after New York drops a day night doubleheader 6-4 and 8-2 to Chicago. Pete Ward leads with three hits and four RBIs in the first game, then adds three more hits and Juan Pizarro throws a five hitter in the nightcap. The losses, part of a rough stretch against Baltimore and Chicago, pull the White Sox within one game of the Orioles as pennant races heat up.
