Chisholm stood at home plate bewildered, his hands up in the air. He’s tied for the team lead in home runs with Judge, but he’s been grinding at the plate of late, batting .113 in April ahead of Monday’s loss with zero multi-hit games.

The Yankees second baseman avoided a wood shard, but a run scored on the play in the loss to the Guardians. He also homered.

Amid a 2-for-25 slide, he launched a two-run homer off reliever Paul Sewald in the eighth inning. “Very validating,” Chisholm said of that swing, his seventh homer of the year, tying Aaron Judge for the club lead.
