An everything bagel for the brain. Substantive, layered, well-seasoned.
Summary
The Yankees lost 5-1 to the Chicago White Sox after reliever Camilo Doval, acquired from the Giants nearly a year ago, gave up a grand slam to Andrew Benintendi in the eighth inning. The loss prevented the Yankees from sweeping the series and highlighted ongoing bullpen reliability issues, particularly with Doval, who has been inconsistent since joining the team.
