Warren (8-5) struck out seven, walked none and retired 12 in a
row before allowing consecutive singles with two outs in the
seventh and being relieved by Paul Blackburn. Warren's sharp
effort followed a loss at Philadelphia last Sunday when he gave
up six runs and six hits in three innings.
David Bednar worked around Pedro Ramirez's single in the ninth
for his 23rd save to complete a five-hitter.
The homers by Rosario and Jones were the first two hits off Cubs
starter Shota Imanaga (7-9), who gave up four hits total, struck
out six and walked none over 6 2/3 innings in a sixth straight
solid outing.
Rosario’s 10th home run, a 450-foot blast, into Wrigley’s
left-center bleachers in the fourth, ended his 15-game drought
without a homer or RBI. He hadn’t gone deep since July 1 against
Detroit.
Jones' fourth homer, in the fifth, traveled 418 feet to
right-center.
Ramirez had two hits for the Cubs, who were shut out for the
10th time this season.
Imanaga ran his scoreless streak to 16 innings and retired the
first 11 hitters Friday before Rosario teed off a center-cut
sweeper. Jones connected on a down-the-middle sinker to make it
2-0.
Alex Bregman and Ian Happ singled in the seventh to end Warren's
day. Blackburn got Nico Hoerner to bounce into a forceout that
ended the threat. Happ originally was ruled safe at second, but
the call was overturned on the Yankees' video challenge.
Up next
Yankees LHP Max Fried (4-3, 3.23 ERA) faces Cubs LHP David
Peterson (6-7, 5.80) on Saturday night.
