NEW YORK (Interstat) — Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a go-ahead homer off Jacob deGrom in the sixth inning, and the New York Yankees beat the Texas Rangers 7-4 on Tuesday night for their fifth straight win and 15th in 17 games.

Chisholm lifted deGrom’s 98 mph fastball into the right-field seats, a 413-foot shot that broke a 3-3 tie. The second baseman’s fourth homer of the season came after the Rangers had taken an early lead with a three-run first inning.

Texas struck quickly against Yankees starter Elmer Rodríguez. Evan Carter walked, Corey Seager walked, and Josh Jung singled to load the bases. Joc Pederson’s sacrifice fly to center scored Carter, and Ezequiel Duran drove in Seager with a single to right. Alejandro Osuna was hit by a pitch later in the inning, and though Danny Jansen grounded out, the Rangers led 3-0.

The Yankees answered in the bottom of the first. Aaron Judge doubled to right, and Cody Bellinger doubled sharply to right, scoring Judge to make it 3-1. Bellinger’s double was his ninth of the season.

New York tied the game in the second. Paul Goldschmidt singled, and after Austin Wells lined out, Ryan McMahon crushed a two-run homer to right-center, his third of the season, scoring Goldschmidt and evening the score at 3-3.

Both pitchers settled in through the middle innings. Rodríguez worked into the fifth, allowing six hits and three earned runs with two strikeouts. deGrom matched him, striking out seven over six-plus innings but allowing six earned runs on seven hits.

The game remained tied until the sixth. With one out, Chisholm drove a deGrom fastball over the wall in right-center, giving the Yankees a 4-3 lead. The homer was Chisholm’s second career homer off deGrom; he had previously taken the two-time Cy Young Award winner deep on a 100.4 mph fastball while playing for the Mets in 2021.

Texas threatened in the top of the seventh. Josh Jung singled, and Kyle Higashioka singled to put runners at first and second. But Duran struck out, and Jake Burger popped out to third, ending the inning.

The Yankees extended their lead in the seventh. After Austin Wells struck out, McMahon singled to left, and José Caballero bunted for a single, moving McMahon to second. Trent Grisham flied out to center, sending McMahon to third. With two outs and runners at second and third, the Rangers intentionally walked Judge to load the bases. Bellinger followed with a double to right, clearing the bases as McMahon and Caballero scored and Judge stopped at third. Bellinger’s 10th double of the season gave the Yankees a 6-3 lead.

New York added another run in the eighth. Goldschmidt led off with a solo homer to right-center, his second of the season, making it 7-3.

Texas rallied in the ninth. Duran tripled to center, his first triple of the season, and scored on a groundout by Burger. But Yankees closer David Bednar retired the next two batters to secure the save, his 10th of the season.

Brent Headrick earned the win, pitching 1⅓ scoreless innings without allowing a hit and striking out three. He improved to 2-0. deGrom took the loss, falling to 2-2. Bednar worked 1⅔ innings, allowing one earned run on one hit with two strikeouts.

Bellinger finished 2-for-3 with three RBIs, continuing a hot stretch. In his previous four games, he had collected three multi-hit performances, including a 4-for-4 game with two homers and four RBIs on May 2 against Baltimore. Duran led the Rangers with a 3-for-4 night, including the triple and an RBI.

McMahon went 2-for-4 with his homer and two RBIs. Judge had a double and scored a run. Goldschmidt added a homer and a single.

The Rangers, now 16-19, had won just two of their previous six games. The Yankees improved to 25-11, maintaining the best record in the American League.

The game drew 38,360 fans to Yankee Stadium II and lasted 2 hours, 46 minutes.
