The Chicago White Sox will counter with Davis Martin when they face the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. Martin has a 2.41 ERA through 13 starts for the White Sox and is tied for the MLB lead in wins at 9-2. The Yankees, meanwhile, will have Gerrit Cole on the mound for his fifth start of the season. Cole has a 2.45 ERA through four starts and is showing signs of getting back to his usual form. He's averaging 96.8 mph on his four-seam fastball and has increased his workload each time on the mound. The Yankees have been in a strong groove with a 7-4 record in June, despite Aaron Judge being injured. Role players like Paul Goldschmidt have stepped up, with a .378 average and 12 RBIs in this span. Jazz Chisholm has also contributed, drawing walks and stealing bases while hitting three home runs. The Yankees have been getting timely hits late in games, with four of their wins since June 1 featuring go-ahead runs in the eighth inning or later. The White Sox will need to find a way to counter the Yankees' momentum and Cole's strong performance. With Martin on the mound, they'll face a tough test in this matchup.
