New York Yankees Give Up Five Home Runs In Saturday's Loss To Pittsburgh PiratesYankees fall 9-4 in the second to last game of the regular season.
Jazz Chisholm - Launches 24th homerChisholm went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Pirates.
ImpactHe got the Yankees on the board with a fifth-inning solo shot off Mike Burrows, but the Bucs already had a 4-0 lead at that point. Chisholm reached 40 steals on the season Friday, and he now sits one homer short of 25 with one game left to play on the regular-season schedule. The 26-year-old has been outstanding for New York since being acquired at the trade deadline -- 11 of his long balls, and 18 of his stolen bases, have come in only 46 games as a Yankee.

Luis Gil - Stumbles in Saturday's lossGil (15-7) took the loss Saturday, coughing up six runs on six hits -- including four home runs -- and a walk over 5.2 innings as the Yankees fell 9-4 to the Pirates. He struck out...
ImpactIt's the first time in his career Gil has been taken deep four times, and the only other time in 2024 he's served up multiple homers came back on Apr. 26, when the Brewers socked two off him in a no-decision. It's a rough ending to a brilliant regular season, but the 26-year-old righty still heads into the playoffs with a 3.50 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 171:77 K:BB through 151.2 innings. Gil should have a big role in the Yankees' postseason rotation, but with a bye for the Wild Card Round, it's not yet clear when he'll next take the mound.
