PHILADELPHIA — It hasn’t taken long for Jazz Chisholm Jr. to make an impact with the Yankees.
After starting a double play on a Trea Turner grounder in Chisholm’s first game — a 14-4 rout of the Phillies — a as a pro at third base in the bottom of the first, the new Yankee then went deep in the top of the second with an opposite field shot to right off Philadelphia’s Zack Wheeler.

It was his 14th homer of the season, as the Yankees try to find the best use — or uses — for Chisholm.
Chisholm added a second long ball — a two-run shot off an eephus pitch by Garrett Stubbs — in the top of the ninth inning to make it a 14-4 score.
He did so using Aaron Judge’s bat, which he proudly displayed to the YES camera in the dugout, while Judge laughed.
