(AP Photo/Pamela Smith) NEW YORK (AP) — Shoeless Jazz crossed the plate, a century after Shoeless Joe. Both of Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s cleats flew off his feet as he scored from second base in the New York Yankees' 4-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles in an unusual morning start Sunday. Advertisement 'I was so sweaty. My socks were wet. Everything had just slipped straight out," he said. Chisholm doubled twice, including a go-ahead, two-run drive off the right-center field wall in the eighth inning, then slid into catcher Gary Sánchez for the final run as New York put the shoe on the other foot, so to speak. The AL East-leading Yankees won their second straight after losing seven of eight in a game that will be remembered for Chisholm's size 10 1/2 Jordan 1 spikes. Shoeless Joe supposedly was given his nickname on June 6, 1908, playing semi-pro ball for the independent Greenville Spinners against the Anderson Electricians. New cleats had caused blisters, and he took them off and hit a long home run in the seventh inning. Jackson won a World Series title with the Chicago White Sox in 1917, then was among eight players on the so-called 'Black Sox' who were banned for life after they were accused of intentionally losing the 1919 Series to Cincinnati in exchange for money from gamblers. He finished with a .356 average in 13 major league seasons. Advertisement Asked whether he should be called Shoeless Jazz, Chisholm responded: 'Wow. Is that how Shoeless Joe got his name? He ran out of his shoe?' When told Jackson earned nickname in the 1910s, Chisholm quipped: 'Oh, so he wasn't wearing shoes.' 'I saw a lot of firsts,' Yankees captain Aaron Judge said. '11:30 game to a guy losing both his shoes. I've seen one cleat kind of running but not both like that. That was awesome.' Chisholm is hitting .350 (21 for 60) with 11 RBIs since returning from a strained right oblique that caused him to miss 28 games. He raised his average to .242. 'That's what I live for. That's how I grew up playing baseball in high school, Little League,' he said. 'I don't feel like it's no need to change.' Advertisement New York trailed 2-0 when Chisholm hit a two-out double off Dean Kremer and headed for home on DJ LeMahieu's single to left. Chisholm's left shoe popped off between third and home. Seeing rookie catcher Maverick Handley move to his left for Colton Cowser's throw up the third-base line, Chisholm tried to veer to avoid contact. He caught the catcher with his right arm as Cowser was spun to the ground and the ball popped out of his mitt. Chisholm fell past the plate as the right shoe was jarred off and from his knees slapped a hand across the plate. 'He had dirt all over his face when I walked out there to get him. Looked like glitter on his face,' Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. 'We were all kind of screaming.' After he reached the dugout, Chisholm stretched out with his stockinged feet on the bench. He put on a fresh pair of socks and then his spikes, and Chisholm asked rookie Jasson Domínguez to tie the laces. Advertisement 'They say he's the best shoe tier,' Chisholm recalled in the postgame clubhouse. 'I didn't understand it until he actually did. It took me like a minute to take off my shoes just now.' Baltimore led 2-1 in the eighth when Ben Rice singled leading off against Bryan Baker for his third hit. Giancarlo Stanton singled to put runners at the corners, and Paul Goldschmidt pinch ran for his fellow former MVP — the first pinch-running appearance of Goldschmidt's big league career, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Baker fell behind 3-0 in the count and left a belt-high fastball over the plate. He drove it 384 feet off the middle of the wall. 'I wasn't going to swing if it wasn't a fastball,' Chisholm said, Advertisement Goldschmidt, 37, slid in just ahead of Sánchez's tag. Chisholm was a minor leaguer in Arizona's system when Goldschmidt starred for the Diamondbacks. 'He was the guy that everybody really watched doing baserunning,' Chisholm said. 'Even when I got to Miami, he was still the blueprint of how to run the bases.' Goldschmidt took pride in his baserunning. 'It's something that wasn't secondary behind hitting and defense,' he said. Chisholm took third on the throw and LeMahieu followed with a chopper to shortstop Gunnar Henderson, who threw home. Chisholm slid headfirst and was at first called out by umpire Jansen Visconti, who didn't realize Sánchez dropped the ball as he applied the tag. Advertisement His first run, however, was the one that will live on in replays for the flying footwear. 'Go out there. Keep playing like that,' Stanton had told him. 'You don't need them.' ___ AP baseball:

Jazz Chisholm, Jr. scores Yankees' first run on strange play Sunday
Jazz Chisholm, Jr. scores Yankees' first run on strange play Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It was 11:35 a.m. on a Sunday, which already made things feel off. Because the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles were featured in the Roku Leadoff Game of the Week, they started earlier than usual. By the bottom of the second inning, things got weird fast. Advertisement Jazz Chisholm Jr. was on second with the Yankees trailing 2–0 when he broke for home on DJ LeMahieu's smoked line drive to left. As he turned the corner at third base, Chisholm shifted into another gear and ran right out of his left shoe. Chisholm, however, kept going, and so did the weirdness. New York Yankees third basman Jazz Chisholm, Jr. © John Jones-Imagn Images The throw came up the line. Orioles catcher Maverick Handley reached out to make the tag. Chisholm didn't slow down. Instead, he tried to juke the tag and then half tried to leap over it —an awkward, airborne sidestep. Handley's arm and shoulder seemed to clip Chisholm's hip as he lost the ball. Chisholm hit the dirt, slapped the plate, and popped up with one sock on. The run counted. The cleat did not. Advertisement Handley stayed down after the play and left the game after several minutes of being examined by trainers. There was no immediate update, but it was a hard collision—one that didn't feel routine. That's a huge blow for the Orioles, who just put All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman on the injured list Saturday. Chisholm stayed in the game, unfazed as usual. It wasn't clean or smooth. But it got the Yankees on the board, trimming the deficit to 2–1. It may not have been what anyone expected when the game started with coffee and bagels. But if New York needed a jolt, Chisholm gave them one. Even if it cost him a shoe.

(AP Photo/Noah K. Murray) NEW YORK (AP) — Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a go-ahead, two-run double off the right-center field wall in a three-run eighth inning, leading the New York Yankees over the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 Sunday. New York won its second straight after losing seven of its previous eight games. Advertisement A day after the Orioles were held hitless for seven innings by Clarke Schmidt, Jackson Holliday singled on Will Warren's first pitch, setting up a two-run first that included Ryan O'Hearn's run-scoring single and Colton Cowser's RBI double. Orioles backup catcher Maverick Handley left after being knocked over in the second during a collision at the plate with Chisholm, who scored on DJ LeMahieu's single against Dean Kremer. Ben Rice singled off Bryan Baker (3-2) leading off the eighth and Giancarlo Stanton's single put runners at the corners. Chisholm doubled and is hitting .350 (21 for 60) with 11 RBIs since returning from the injured list, raising his average to .242. New York boosted the lead when Gary Sánchez dropped shortstop Gunnar Henderson's throw on LeMahieu's grounder, allowing Chisholm to slide across the plate. Advertisement Fernando Cruz (2-3) struck out the side in the eighth and has 50 strikeouts in 30 1/3 innings. Devin Williams pitched around a two-out single in the ninth for his 10th save in 11 chances. In a game that started at 11:39 a.m. to fulfill a Major League Baseball national television contract, Warren gave up two runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings. Key stat New York had been 1-22 when trailing after seven innings. Key moment Baker fell behind Chisholm in the count 3-0, then left a fastball over the plate. Up next Orioles: LHP Trevor Rogers (0-0, 3.12) starts Monday night's homestand opener against Texas and LHP Patrick Corbin (4-6, 3.91). Yankees: Rookie RHP Allan Winans makes his New York and season debut on Monday night at Cincinnati, which starts LHP Nick Lodolo (5-5, 3.71). ___ AP MLB:

Orioles C Maverick Handley injured in collision vs. Yankees
June 22 - Baltimore Orioles catcher Maverick Handley left Sunday's game against the host New York Yankees in the second inning following a collision at the plate with Jazz Chisholm Jr. With two outs in the second, DJ LeMahieu lined a single to left field and Chisholm scored from second base. Chisholm collided with Handley up the line and the Yankee third baseman's elbow appeared to hit the rookie in the head. After trainer Scott Barringer and interim manager Tony Mansolino checked him out, Handley was replaced by Gary Sanchez. The collision continued a rough weekend for Baltimore's catchers. Adley Rutschman was scratched after batting practice on Friday and placed on injured reserve one day later with a strained left oblique. Rutschman, who is on the injured list for the first time in his career, is expected to be sidelined through the All-Star break. --Field Level Media

(AP Photo/Pamela Smith) NEW YORK (AP) — Baltimore Orioles backup catcher Maverick Handley left Sunday's game against the New York Yankees after being knocked over in a collision at the plate with Jazz Chisholm Jr. With Baltimore ahead 2-0, Chisholm hit a two-out double off Dean Kremer and went home on DJ LeMahieu's single to left. Advertisement Colton Cowser's throw was up the third-base line. Handley moved to his left for the throw, arriving for the ball at the same time as Chisholm, who tried to veer to the inside to avoid contact. Chisholm, whose left cleat had come off as he speeded down the line, smacked into Handley, fell past the plate and had to come back to touch it. Handley, a 27-year-old who debuted in April, got up slowly and was removed after a discussion with interim manager Tony Masolino and head athletic trainer Scott Barringer. Baltimore replaced Handley with former Yankees player Gary Sánchez. Baltimore already is without All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman, who strained his left oblique and is on the injured list for the first time in his major league career. ___ More AP baseball:
