Jones drives one through Wrigley wind, but Yanks can't make it stand
In Chicago on Saturday night, the New York Yankees briefly broke through strong Wrigley Field winds when rookie Spencer Jones hit an opposite-field home run in the seventh inning. The lead vanished immediately as Chicago Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner opened the bottom half with a solo homer. The Cubs then exploited a critical Yankees defensive misplay to add further runs and secure a 5-2 victory. Statcast measured Jones’ drive at 106 mph, just clearing the left-field wall despite gusts blowing in, but New York’s offense could not respond late.
