Beltran hits 400th HR, Yankees win

NEW YORK >> More than a week after they wobbled back to the Bronx in last place, Chase Headley, Carlos Beltran and their New York teammates whooshed out of Yankee Stadium looking way more potent.

Headley lined a pinch-hit double to break a seventh-inning tie, Beltran launched his 400th career home run and the Yankees wrapped up a successful homestand by beating the Chicago White Sox 7-5 Sunday.

The Yankees overcame a hiccup by reliever Dellin Betances to finish a much-needed 7-3 against the AL Central-leading White Sox, World Series champion Kansas City and eternal rival Boston.

“It really shows we’re capable of winning against good teams,” Beltran said.

The Yankees also have their vaunted bullpen set up exactly the way they envisioned.

After Betances recovered to escape his own jam, Andrew Miller pitched a perfect eighth and Aroldis Chapman closed for his third save.

“Obviously, it’s a big homestand for the whole team,” Headley said. “I think we’re playing the way we’re capable of.”

The White Sox have dropped four of five overall, and lost for the 13th time in their last 15 games at Yankee Stadium.

“We’re just going to enjoy the off day on Monday, that’s realistically what we’re looking at right now,” said Adam Eaton, who homered and squeezed home a run.
