Cool Jazz back at Yankee Stadium as Chisholm's homer sparks New York to 3-2 win over Cleveland
NEW YORK — The New York Yankees had been missing their cool Jazz.
Sidelined since April 29 by a strained right oblique, Jazz Chisholm Jr. drove Tanner Bibee's first pitch of the seventh inning toward the right-center stands. He shuffled up the first-base line, holding his bat, convinced it was a tiebreaking home run .

The Red Sox need to make some noise against the Yankees
While barely avoiding a sweep at the hands of the Angels isn't something to celebrate, the Boston Red Sox have to be feeling pretty good about themselves after Wednesday's walk-off win. They need to channel all that good mojo this weekend against the first-place Yankees in New York. The AL East rivals will square off for the first time this season with a three-game set in the Bronx. The 38-23 Yankees have the third-best record in baseball and look determined to win it all after coming up short last October. It's the exact opposite of what the Red Sox have looked like this season. Boston is still licking its wounds after going just 11-17 in May and a 2-2 start to June, despite facing some lackluster opposition. Alex Cora's club did not take advantage of an easy part of the schedule and sits at just 30-34 on the year -- 9.5 games back of New York. If this isn't a make-or-break series for the Red Sox, it's pretty darn close. They're reaching a desperation point, winning just three times in their last 10 games. Over the last 11 games, Boston has by one run five times thanks in large part to the team's lack of fundamentals all over the diamond. The Yankees, meanwhile, have won three of four, eight of their last 11, and 12 of their last 16 games. They're in the top three in most offensive categories, thanks to an absolute monster season from Aaron Judge so far. The MVP favorite is hitting a ridiculous .392 (the best in MLB) with a 1.250 OPS (also first) with 21 homers (third) and 50 RBI (fifth). The New York offense isn't just a one-hit wonder though, with solid hitters up and down the lineup. First baseman Paul Goldschmidt is slashing .323/.380/.471 for the season. Centerfielder Trent Grisham is second on the team with 13 homers, while DH Ben Rice has left the yard a dozen times. Cody Bellinger has been solid with nine homers and 10 doubles. Jazz Chisholm returned last series and went 5-for-11 with a homer and two runs scored as the Yankees took two of three from the Guardians. The Red Sox will send Garrett Crochet to the bump Saturday night, so the team should be competitive for at least one game this series. But Boston really needs a series win, which they've done just twice in their last seven series. A good series win against the Yankees could push the Red Sox in the right direction at a difficult part of the schedule. After a visit from the Rays next week, the Yankees will be at Fenway Park next weekend. Boston then heads out West for series against the first-place Mariners, first-place Giants, and the Angels team that just took two of three at Fenway Park. Red Sox-Yankees Pitching Matchups The Red Sox luck out a bit this weekend, as they'll avoid New York ace Max Fried. The lefty tossed six shutout innings of one-run ball against Cleveland on Thursday, so the Red Sox won't see Fried and his 1.78 ERA. Here's who will toe the rubber for the two teams over the next three days: Friday: Walker Buehler (4-3. 4.44 ERA) vs. Will Warren (3-3, 5.19 ERA) Grisham is batting just .211 in 19 career at-bats against Buehler, but two of his four hits were homers. Chisholm is 3-for-7 in his career against the righty. Judge is 0-for-2 against Buehler with a strikeout. Saturday: Garrett Crochet (5-4, 1.98 ERA) vs. Ryan Yarbrough (3-0, 2.83 ERA) No one on the Yankees has more than three career at-bats against Crochet. Bellinger is 2-for-2 against the Boston ace with a homer. Judge is 1-for-2 with a single and a strikeout, while Goldschmidt is 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. Rafael Devers has the most at-bats of all Red Sox hitters against Yarbrough, going 6-for-27 (.222) with a double, a homer, and six RBI. Sunday: Hunter Dobbins (2-1, 4.06 ERA) vs. Carlos Rodon (8-3, 2.49 ERA) This will be the first time the Yankees see Dobbins, who is coming off five innings of one-run ball against the Angels on Monday night. Dobbins came out of the bullpen that evening after former New York prospect Richard Fitts was roughed up for six runs (five earned) in the first inning. While Boston avoids Fried this series, they do not avoid Rodon, who has been spectacular for New York. We'll definitely be seeing Rob Refsnyder in the Boston lineup Sunday night, as he's 4-for-12 with two doubles, a homer, and three walks in his career against Rodon.

‘Star Wars: Starfighter' Adds ‘Frankenstein' Star Mia Goth
As much as we'd love to see a Star Wars movie that just stars Ryan Gosling, Star Wars: Starfighter was never going to be that. He needs co-stars, aliens, droids, and now the very first of those may have come into view. The InSneider reports, and io9 has confirmed, that Mia Goth, the actress best known for her roles in Pearl, X, and MaXXXine, who'll soon appear Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein and Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, has been cast in the film. No word on what the role is, but reporter Jeff Sneider writes it is the same one Anora-star and Oscar-winner Mikey Madison was circling before moving along. This story is developing…

Patti LuPone's drama is dividing the Broadway community ahead of the Tony Awards
Patti LuPone may have apologized for some recent controversial remarks, but that doesn't mean the curtain has dropped on the drama. The actress sparked a major backlash after disparaging comments she made about fellow Broadway stars Kecia Lewis and Audra McDonald in a recent interview with the New Yorker. LuPone referred to Lewis as a 'b**ch' and said McDonald was 'not a friend.' Hundreds of performers from Broadway and other theater communities then wrote a letter in which they characterized LuPone's comments as 'degrading and misogynistic—it is a blatant act of racialized disrespect.' 'It constitutes bullying. It constitutes harassment,' they wrote. 'It is emblematic of the microaggressions and abuse that people in this industry have endured for far too long, too often without consequence.' The group called for LuPone to be disinvited from industry events, including Sunday's Tony Awards. LuPone apologized last weekend on social media, posting a statement in which she said she hoped to be able to speak with the pair to make 'sincere apologies.' 'I am deeply sorry for the words I used during The New Yorker interview, particularly about Kecia Lewis, which were demeaning and disrespectful,' Lupone wrote. 'I regret my flippant and emotional responses during this interview, which were inappropriate, and I am devastated that my behavior has offended others and has run counter to what we hold dear in this community.' The controversy ahead of the Tony Awards has raised interest in the event, sparking conversation about whether LuPone, who has long reigned as Broadway star, will make an appearance. But not everyone feels harshly towards her. Actress Mia Farrow has garned a Tony nomination for the Broadway play 'The Roommate' in which she costars with LuPone. In a recently published interview with Deadline, Farrow talked about her 30-year friendship with the woman she dubbed the 'goddess of Broadway.' 'We live near each other. Always have. Two of our kids were in the same class at school, at the same school, her son and my son, and I met her on New Year's Eve, actually,' Farrow told the publication. 'She and her husband gave a New Year's Eve party, and Steve Sondheim, who was one of my oldest friends, 50 years, he invited me to come to the party at Patti's 30 years ago, and that's how I met Patti.' Farrow, who mentioned the New Yorker interview in her conversation with Deadline without addressing the controversy, said working with her neighbor and friend was a positive experience. 'Patti and I never had a negative moment, by the way,' Farrow said. 'Working together didn't change our friendship. I think our friendship is deeper now.' 'Abbott Elementary' star Sheryl Lee Ralph, who is also a decorated Broadway performer, most notably playing the role of Deena Jones in the original 1981 production of 'Dreamgirls,' weighed in as well. 'Why not be nice?' Ralph said of LuPone. And while Ralph said she was 'not going to judge' LuPone, she did have some words of wisdom for the 'Evita' star. 'It was a moment where maybe you want to zip it,' she said. 'Inner thoughts don't always have to be outer thoughts, that might have been one of those moments.' British weekly conservative magazine writer Ella Whelan penned a piece with the headline, 'Patti LuPone is a diva – not a racist.' 'LuPone is notorious for putting the broad in Broadway – her loud mouth is infamous,' Whelan wrote, noting some of her other outspoken comments. 'Forget white privilege, this is diva privilege – when you're that good an entertainer, you can pretty much say what you want,' Whelan added. The 78th Annual Tony Awards, hosted by 'Wicked' film star and Tony, Grammy and Emmy award-winner Cynthia Erivo, will be broadcast live on Sunday, June 8 at 8 p.m. ET on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+ in the US.
