Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-1\">Giancarlo Stanton hit a go-ahead bases-clearing double with two outs in the fifth inning and the New York Yankees stayed tied atop the American League East with a 5-3 victory over the visiting Chicago White Sox on Thursday night.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-2\">The Yankees (91-68) won their fifth straight game and remained even with Toronto (91-68) atop the division. New York improved to 22-8 in their past 30 games since trailing the Blue Jays by 6 1\/2 games following a 12-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Aug. 23.

Singles by Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger chased Martin, and Tyler Gilbert (4-2) walked Ben Rice to load the bases.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-5\">Stanton followed by hammering a 109 mph ground ball past third baseman Curtis Mead&#8217;s glove into left field for a 4-3 lead.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-6\">Austin Wells added an RBI double in the seventh that scored pinch runner Jasson Dominguez after Stanton walked against Mike Vasil.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<section id=\"section-7\">Judge had two more hits and drew two more intentional walks. He ended the night with a major-league-best .330 average and an AL-record 35 intentional free passes.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-8\">New York&#8217;s Carlos Rodon (18-9) allowed three runs on four hits in six innings. Rodon struck out five, walked one and finished his third season as a Yankee by going 7-2 in his final nine starts.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-9\">Rice hit a bases-loaded groundout to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead after the first three hitters reached against Martin.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-10\">Chicago&#8217;s Corey Julks hit a tying sacrifice fly in the second, and Michael A. Taylor hit a fastball into the first row of the right-center-field seats for a 3-1 lead in the fourth.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-11\">Martin allowed three runs on six hits in 4 1\/3 innings. He struck out five and walked two.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-12\">The White Sox lost their fifth game in a row and fell for the 11th time in 12 games. Rookie Colson Montgomery had two of their five hits and reached base three times.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-13\">After New York&#8217;s Luke Weaver pitched a perfect seventh, Devin Williams retired Miguel Vargas with two on to end the eighth.
