Chisholm hits tiebreaking homer in return from injured list to lead Yankees past Guardians 3-2
NEW YORK — Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a tiebreaking home run in his return from a month on the injured list, Carlos Rodón won his seventh straight decision and the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Guardians 3-2 on Tuesday night for their 11th win in 14 games.
Back from a strained right oblique that caused him to miss 28 games, Chisholm pulled a fastball into the first row of the right-center seats against Tanner Bibee (4-6) for a 2-1 lead in the seventh inning. Six pitches later, Anthony Volpe drove a sweeper into the left-field stands, giving the Yankees back-to-back homers for the fifth time.

Yankees vs. Red Sox: Historic MLB rivalry by the numbers
The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox will square off for the first time in the 2025 MLB season in a three-game series at Yankee Stadium from June 6-8. Game 2 of the series will be on Saturday night at 7:35 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app. Of course, the pair of American League East foes make for the most historic rivalry in baseball and one of the best in the history of professional sports. From playoff showdowns to in-game brawls to superstars changing teams, the Yankees and Red Sox have an endless history with each other. Furthermore, a trio of FOX MLB Studio Analysts were once at the heart of that rivalry: Derek Jeter, David Ortiz and Alex Rodriguez. Here's a historical look at the Yankees' and Red Sox' rivalry by the numbers. 2: Both teams have sported two different names, as the Boston Red Sox were the Boston Americans from 1901-07 before becoming the Red Sox, and the New York Yankees were the New York Highlanders from 1903-1912 before becoming the Yankees. 3A: The Yankees led the Red Sox 3-0 in the 2004 American League Championship Series. And then the unthinkable happened: The Red Sox won four games in a row, including two in extra innings, to advance. It marked the first time in MLB history that a team came back down 3-0 to win a series and the first time the Red Sox beat the Yankees in a playoff series. Just days later, Boston won the World Series for the first time since 1918. It stands as the only time a team has overcome a 3-0 series lead. 3B: The Red Sox have won each of their last three postseason matchups against the Yankees (2004 ALCS, 2018 ALDS and 2021 AL wild-card game). 3C: The Yankees and Red Sox went .500 against each other in the regular season for three consecutive seasons: 9-9 in 2008, 2009 and 2010. 5A: The two teams have faced each other five times in the postseason, with the Yankees winning the 1999 and 2003 ALCS, and the Red Sox winning the next three matchups (2004, 2018 and 2021). 5B: Red Sox manager Alex Cora spent four seasons with his franchise as a player (2005-08), and Yankees manager Aaron Boone spent one season with his franchise as a player (2003); the two combined for five seasons as a player with their respective teams. However, had Boone not torn his ACL in the 2004 offseason, his stint with the Yankees may have lasted longer, as the franchise proceeded to acquire 2003 AL MVP Alex Rodriguez from the Texas Rangers to play third base, Boone's position. The Red Sox also had trade talks with the Rangers about trading for Rodriguez. 11: Speaking of Boone, the Yankees acquired the third baseman from the Cincinnati Reds during the 2003 season. In Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS against the Red Sox, the Yankees mounted their infamous comeback that cost Boston manager Grady Little his job, and sent the game to extra innings. And on the first pitch of the bottom of the 11th inning, Boone launched a walk-off home run to left field, sending the Yankees to the World Series. 163: In 1978, 162 games couldn't decide the AL East, so a Game 163 was required to determine whether the Yankees or Red Sox would claim the division. Trailing 2-0 in the top of the seventh inning, Yankees shortstop Bucky Dent hit a go-ahead three-run home run over the Green Monster in left field to put the Bronx Bombers ahead, and they later sealed the deal to win the AL East. While more runs would be scored by both teams, Dent's homer remains the signature moment of Game 163 and earned Dent a forever nickname in New England: Bucky "F------" Dent. And two weeks later, the Yankees won the 1978 World Series. 251: Several superstars and Hall of Famers played for both the Yankees and Red Sox. For instance, Wade Boggs and Roger Clemens each spent a substantial chunk of their respective careers with the Red Sox. However, they later ended up with the Yankees and hoisting up the Commissioner's Trophy in pinstripes (Boggs was on the Yankees' 1996 World Series team and Clemens was on the Yankees' 1999 and 2000 World Series teams), while Johnny Damon won a World Series with both clubs (Boston in 2004 and New York in 2009). Red Ruffing, Herb Pennock and Carl Mays are also among those to play for both franchises for a prolonged period, with 251 players total suiting up for both franchises. 500: Fascinatingly enough, of the 24 combined playoff games the Yankees and Red Sox have played against each other, the two teams are .500 (12-12). 1919: Of course, another individual to play for both teams was Babe Ruth, who the Red Sox traded to the Yankees in 1919 against the backdrop of financial issues. Ruth had already won three World Series with the Red Sox, but he then went on to win four more titles with the Yankees and became the best player to ever suit up for the franchise. In fact, Ruth is first in Yankees history with a 142.8 WAR, 659 home runs and a .349 batting average. Oof. 2,311: The two teams have faced off a combined 2,311 times (regular season plus postseason), with the Yankees entering June 6 with a 1,245-1,028-14 record in the all-time series.

Canada's Whitecaps players back in training after Marsch alleges ‘poisoning' in Mexico
Canada men's national team head coach Jesse Marsch alleged on Friday that three members of his team who traveled to Mexico with the Vancouver Whitecaps for the Concacaf Champions Cup final were 'poisoned.' The Whitecaps lost to Cruz Azul 5-0 in Sunday's final and cancelled their training session on Wednesday after a 'significant number' of players and staff members fell ill with gastrointestinal symptoms. In a statement the club said: 'As a precautionary measure, and in consultation with the club's medical team, as well as the local infectious disease consultant and Vancouver Coastal Health, the club cancelled training on Wednesday and held a modified individual closed session for cleared players today.' Advertisement The Whitecaps have not alleged any foul play, and the club even brought its own chef as a precautionary measure after the Columbus Crew suffered a similar fate during its Concacaf Champions Cup final against Pachuca. That did not deter Marsch from making pointed allegations, despite later clarifying that he had no proof. 'It's for me, appalling that this is the second year in a row that Concacaf and the powers that be have allowed an MLS team to go down to Mexico for a big final and get poisoned,' Marsch told reporters after a Friday morning event with the Canada Ukraine Foundation (Ukraine is in Toronto to play Canada in the Canadian Shield friendly tournament). 'It's ridiculous. Something has to be done to protect these environments.' The players Marsch is referencing are Vancouver's Jayden Nelson, Ali Ahmed and Sam Adekugbe. After returning from Mexico, the Whitecaps trio trained separately from the rest of the Canadian squad during their first session in Halifax. 'Look, in the past when you would go down there, I remember being with the U.S. national team and club teams going down to Mexico, it was 'will the fire alarm be pulled in the middle of the night? Will there be dancing and singing?' And those are somewhat spirited, competitive advantages that are created when you go down to Mexico. But poisoning the team is another, is another version,' Marsch said. 'Look I don't have any proof here that this (happened) but it's not random,' he added. 'It's not random that two years in a row this has happened. If I were the Vancouver Whitecaps, if I were the Columbus Crew, if I were MLS, I would be absolutely angry that this has been allowed to happen. 'When all three of (Nelson, Adekugbe and Ahmed) are sick, it's clear. It wasn't just 'Ah I don't feel so great'. There was talk of whether it was an infectious virus but in the end, I don't want to speak but I think the results are that it was food poisoning.' Advertisement All three Whitecaps players trained with Canada during Friday's morning session in Toronto, but Marsch said it was unlikely they would be available for full 90-minute performances on Saturday against Ukraine. Canada plays Ivory Coast in another friendly on Tuesday that serves as preparations for the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup, where Canada will face Honduras, El Salvador and Curaçao in group play as it vies for its first title since 2000.
