​Chicago White Sox second baseman Chase Meidroth laced a liner to the left field wall.Down a run with two outs in the seventh inning, Colson Montgomery attempted to score from first base. New York Yankees left fielder Max Schuemann made a one-hop throw to shortstop Anthony Volpe, who threw out Montgomery at the plate.“There were two outs, we all know (Justin Jirschele), I think he’s one of the best third-base coaches — he gets really good reads,” Montgomery said. “I feel like I got a pretty good jump off it. Lefty (Brent Headrick) on the mound, I felt I couldn’t really get too far off first base. I thought I got a pretty good jump and I thought I was going to score. They’re good players, too, and made decent relays.”The Yankees added some breathing room with four runs in the eighth, featuring a three-run home run by Ali Sánchez, and defeated the Sox 9-5 in front of 22,357 at Rate Field on Monday.The Sox saw an early three-run lead evaporate on the way to dropping the opener of the four-game series.“It’s just one of those teams that are really good, they are a veteran team,” Montgomery said of the Yankees. “They are not going to go away. We got up 3-0, I wouldn’t say we got complacent or anything like that. You know they are going to stay on the gas pedal.”With the loss, the Sox (55-50) hold a two-game lead in the American League Central ahead of Cleveland (54-53). The Guardians’ game against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday was postponed because of poor weather.Monday’s Sox-Yankees game began after a 20-minute delay following lengthy periods of rain earlier in the day.The Sox were sharp out of the gate, pushing across the three runs in the first inning.Colson Montgomery had an RBI single, Chase Meidroth collected an RBI on a sacrifice fly and Braden Montgomery drove in a run with a triple, giving the team a 3-0 lead. Colson Montgomery — who was the designated hitter after fouling a ball off near his right shin Saturday and missing Sunday’s game against the Houston Astros — successfully scored from first on Braden Montgomery’s triple.The Yankees took advantage of consecutive walks at the beginning of a four-run fourth inning. A run scored on a Volpe grounder. That was the last batter for Sox starter Noah Schultz, who allowed three runs on two hits with five strikeouts and two walks in 3 1/3 innings.“He was in a really good spot there,” manager Will Venable said. “The first three innings, all the strikeouts were full counts — where they were really working him, and then there in the fourth, just a bunch of traffic. Thought it was time to move on.”Venable thought Monday “was a step forward for Noah.”“Really good there for the three innings, and maybe he gets through that there in the fourth if I leave him in there,” Venable said. “But I thought he did a nice job.”Schultz said of the outing: “Feel like we had a good game plan going into it. (Catcher Edgar Quero) called a great game. Feel li
