Robinson Cano hit a three-run homer with two outs in the 10th inning to give the New York Yankees a 5-2 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday night.
Cano hit a 2-2 pitch from Randy Williams (0-1) into New York’s bullpen in right-center, delighting what was left of a soggy crowd at Yankee Stadium. Williams retired the first two batters he faced before walking Hideki Matsui and Nick Swisher on four pitches apiece to set up Cano’s first game-ending homer.
Brian Bruney (4-0) worked a perfect 10th inning for the win. Cano was batting just .176 with two outs and runners in scoring position this season before his clutch hit.
