NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Spencer Jones<\/a> hit his first Yankee Stadium home run in the second inning, Ben Rice<\/a> and Paul Goldschmidt<\/a> each added a two-run drive in the fourth, and the New York Yankees<\/a> rocked Davis Martin<\/a> in a 12-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox<\/a> on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Gerrit Cole<\/a> (2-1) allowed two runs and three hits in six innings as the Yankees improved to 8-4 since losing slugger Aaron Judge<\/a> indefinitely to a stress fracture in his right rib.<\/p>\n

Jones reached the second deck in right field for a tying shot off Martin (9-3) and his second career homer. The rookie also walked with the bases loaded during a four-run third after Martin lost an ABS challenge.<\/p>\n

Rice hit his 20th homer to give the Yankees a 7-1 lead when he hammered Martin\u2019s 2-1 curveball into the right-field seats. Goldschmidt chased Martin with his 10th of the year, a shot to left on a 1-2 fastball.<\/p>\n

Rice reached 20 homers for the second straight season, after hitting 26 in 2025. The first baseman joined Houston\u2019s Yordan Alvarez<\/a>, Minnesota\u2019s Byron Buxton<\/a> and injured White Sox rookie Munetaka Murakami<\/a> among American League players with 20 homers.<\/p>\n

Goldschmidt homered for the second time in three games and matched his total from last season when he appeared in 146 games for the Yankees.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Caballero homered off a 41 mph curveball by infielder Luisangel Acu\u00f1a in the ninth.<\/p>\n

Cody Bellinger<\/a> had three hits, including a go-ahead two-run single with the bases loaded in the third. Ryan McMahon<\/a> provided an RBI single in the six-run fourth. J.C. Escarra<\/a> started the third with a double and reached three times, including on a throwing error by reliever Chris Murphy<\/a> that gave the Yankees an 11-1 lead.<\/p>\n

New York finished with 16 hits and scored double-digit runs for the eighth time.<\/p>\n

Andrew Benintendi<\/a> homered three batters in but the White Sox fell to 5-4 in a stretch of 11 straight games against the Phillies, Braves, Dodgers and Yankees.<\/p>\n

Martin tied a career worst by allowing nine runs. He also permitted eight hits in 3 1\/3 innings. The right-hander gave up three homers after yielding three in his first 13 starts.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Chicago LHP Anthony Kay<\/a> (6-1, 4.34 ERA) faces New York LHP Carlos Rod\u00f3n (2-2, 3.19) on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
