The Bombers ended a 30-inning scoreless streak on Wednesday night, thanks to Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s solo shot in the bottom of the second, a homer that tied the score at 1 before the Yankees lost, 3-2.
Chisholm’s dinger, his 10th of the season, went 407 feet down the right-field line at Yankee Stadium off a 97.3 mph sinker from Angels hurler Jack Kochanowicz.
