Jazz Chishholm Jr. took a milestone swing with a heavy heart on Sunday evening.
The second Honkman of Yankees drilled his 100th career at home to start the score in a 7-2 victory over the Red Sox, and then seemed to be emotional after he returned to the Dugout, which he indicated after the game was due to the death of a good friend.
“It felt rather surreal,” said Chisholm. ‘I lost my best friend [Saturday]So today felt like another type of day. Especially with the 100th home run today and everything. “
Chisholm refused to go in detail, but said, “At the moment I have experienced a lot in the last 30 hours.”
Before the night was over, Chisholm added his 101st career at home, a two-run shot that gave the Yankees a breathing room in the eighth inning.
Chishholm ended on Sunday with 24 Homers in the season and corresponded to his career high last season.
“It feels even better that we have won the game, especially to a team that really defeated us this year,” said Chisholm. “That should bring us into a good momentum now.”
