Jon Berti hit his first home run for the New York Yankees, a three-run shot that gave the team a 5-2 lead against the Chicago White Sox in the fourth inning. The home run broke a 2-2 tie and was hit on the first pitch with two outs. The ball sailed 366 feet into the right-field porch, a distance that would only clear the fence in the Bronx and Cincinnati. Chris Flexen of the White Sox gave up the home run after allowing a pair of one-out singles. Berti, batting as the No. 9 hitter, hit the opposite field home run.
