White Sox outlast the Yankees 6-5 in the 12th on Quero's RBI single
Quero drove in Tristan Peters after Jordan Hicks left the bases loaded, and Chicago rallied from a 4-1 deficit to split the four-game series.
On Wednesday, catcher Edgar Quero hit a 12th-inning RBI single to lift the Chicago White Sox past the New York Yankees 6-5, marking the team's eighth walk-off victory of the season.
New York built an early 4-1 lead before Chicago rallied in the eighth inning, with Sam Antonacci and Munetaka Murakami hitting consecutive home runs off Yankees reliever Paul Blackburn to tie the game.
Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler dominated early, retiring the first 11 batters, while Chicago starter Davis Martin allowed four runs in six innings; Jordan Hicks later escaped a bases-loaded jam in the 12th inning.
The White Sox remain 1.5 games ahead of Cleveland in the Central standings following the victory, while the Yankees dropped 2.5 games behind East leader Tampa Bay.
Thursday's series finale pits New York LHP Ryan Weathers against RHP Sean Burke, while NBC Sports flexed the Sox' September 6 game against the Twins to Sunday Night Baseball at Rate Field.
