Juan Soto's three home runs lift Yankees over White Sox - ESPN

CHICAGO — Juan Soto had his first career three-homer game, Nestor Cortes tossed seven shutout innings and the New York Yankees held off the Chicago White Sox 4-1 on Tuesday night to take sole possession of the American League East lead.
