Try it freeCHICAGO — A week of laughers gave way to a nail-biter on Saturday night.
And yet, the Yankees’ winning streak remains alive and well.
After a small-ball approach did not work in the 10th inning, the Yankees strung an old-fashioned rally together in the top of the 11th to capture their seventh straight win, 5-3 over the White Sox at Rate Field.
Cody Bellinger, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Anthony Volpe all went the other way for run-scoring hits off lefty reliever Tyler Alexander to lift the Yankees (76-60) in dramatic fashion after Devin Williams had blown a 2-1 lead in the seventh inning.
In relief of David Bednar, who threw two scoreless frames (including stranding the winning run at third base in the bottom of the 10th), Camilo Doval retired the the White Sox (48-88) in order in the 11th, allowing the automatic runner to score but nothing else.

With the Blue Jays losing again, the Yankees pulled within two games of them for the division lead — the closest they have been since the All-Star break.

They also gained another game on the Red Sox, now leading them by 1 ½ games for the top AL wild-card spot.
