CHICAGO (AP) — James Paxton pitched six effective innings, Brett Gardner and Austin Romine each had four RBIs, and the New York Yankees cruised past the Chicago White Sox, 10-3, on Sunday.

Gardner and Romine, the backup catcher behind Gary Sánchez, each drove in two runs with singles in New York's five-run third. Cameron Maybin added a solo shot in the seventh as the Yankees homered for the 19th straight game, and pulled away to win their second straight and gain a split of the four-game series.

Paxton (4-3) allowed eight hits and allowed two runs for his first win since April 26. The left-hander struck out seven and walked one after being roughed up by the Mets for six runs in 2 2/3 innings last Tuesday.

Edwin Encarnación, the AL home run leader, will join the Yankees in New York on Monday and is expected to be available in the opener of a three-game series against Tampa Bay. Manager Aaron Boone plans to use the 36-year-old as his team's primary designated hitter.

CWS: Martin powers Vandy

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Austin Martin homered on Reid Detmers' first pitch of the game and he went deep again in the seventh to break a tie in Vanderbilt's 3-1 victory over Louisville on Sunday in the College World Series on Sunday.

Drake Fellows came off a poor outing in the super regionals to pitch seven strong innings and help No. 2 national seed Vanderbilt (55-11) improve to 4-0 in its CWS openers.

Martin homered twice for the second straight game, having hit two against Duke on June 9. He became the first player since Florida's Harrison Bader in 2015 to lead off a CWS game with a homer when he drove Detmers' initial offering out to left.

No. 7 Louisville (49-17) had base runners in six of Fellows' seven innings but found a semblance of rhythm only in the fifth. No. 8 batter Justin Lavey started things with a double and scored on Henry Davis' base hit to tie it. Lucas Dunn and Logan Wyatt followed with singles to load the bases with one out, but Fellows got a flyout and groundout to snuff the threat.

Legion: Dover tops Salem

DOVER — Dover Post 8 scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth Saturday to take a 4-1 win over Salem,

In the sixth, Dan Wooster began with a walk, and Alex Schlapak sacrificed him to second and reached on a throwing error. After two outs, singles by Aiden McDonough, Ryan McKenna and Dylan Murphy brought home the three runs.

Max Lewis got the win, pitching three innings with four strikeouts. Alex Bostrom started and pitched four innings, giving up a run and striking out six.

Schlapak went 2-for-2 with two runs. Murphy had two hits and an RBI.
