HOUSTON – Producing multiple hits for the third time in his past four games, Jazz Chisholm Jr. drove in four runs and scored three times Friday night to lead the Yankees to a 12-4 victory over the Houston Astros, extending New York’s winning streak to seven games.
Chisholm’s two-run single off Lance McCullers Jr. gave the Yankees a 3-0 first-inning lead. He put them up 5-1 by leading off the fourth with a home run to right field, then made it 10-2 with an RBI single in the seventh. Chisholm finished 3-for-4 with a walk.
Chisholm, who through Wednesday was homerless in 23 games this season, now has two home runs after going deep in back-to-back contests. In going 7-for-16 over his past four games, Chisholm has taken his slash line from .164/.265/.233 to .213/.300/.337.
Ryan McMahon, Ben Rice and José Caballero also homered for the Yankees, providing ample support for Will Warren, who pitched six innings and improved to 3-0. Warren allowed two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out six.
