Player of the gameJazz Chisholm Jr.NYY2/4 2hr 5rbi
NEW YORK – Swagger arrives when Jazz Chisholm Jr. does, following him from the Yankee Stadium parking garage into the clubhouse and out toward the field. Hardly one to shy away from any spotlight, the infielder admits there have been times this season when it has felt like he’s putting on an act. With stars like Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton missing, Chisholm said he has sensed pressure to carry the Yankees’ lineup. Still, he knows that when his swing feels right, he’s a difference-maker – as in Monday night’s 8-5 win over the Pirates, when he blasted two homers and drove in five runs. “I’m not the same kind of player as Judge,” Chisholm said. “I feel like I was trying to overdo it; trying to hit a five-run home run with nobody on base. I feel like us coming together and talking about certain stuff, realizing that we do this as a team – I feel like that has helped a lot.” It was the 10th multihomer game of Chisholm’s career; including Sunday’s win over the Dodgers, Chisholm has homered three times in the past two games, giving him 16 for the season. Both of Chisholm’s homers Monday came off Braxton Ashcraft – a three-run blast in the first inning, then a two-run shot in the third. The outburst came after, according to Chisholm, teammates Judge and Anthony Volpe offered him a boost. “\[Confidence is\
