Grisham homers and drives in all 3 runs to lift the Yankees to a 3-1 win over the Orioles

On Tuesday night, Trent Grisham led the Yankees to a 3-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Grisham notched his 17th home run of the season in the third inning and added a two-run single in the seventh. This performance was instrumental in securing the victory for the Yankees. Yerry De los Santos (1-0) stepped in to pitch two innings of scoreless relief for the Yankees, who were leading the series opener with the top AL wild-card place and six games ahead of Tampa Bay for the AL East lead.

Carlos Rodón, the Yankees' left-hander, allowed Coby Mayo’s 17th homer during his four innings of play after being sidelined by an elbow injury. Brent Headrick, Fernando Cruz, Paul Blackburn, and David Bednar contributed to the Yankees' cause, finishing the seventh, eighth, and ninth innings respectively. Shane Baz (4-13) started for the Orioles, striking out a season-high 10 batters in 6 1/3 innings, but was ultimately charged with all three runs that the Yankees scored.

Josh Walker faced back-to-back pinch hitters for Baltimore, walking Paul Goldschmidt and striking out Amed Rosario, before Grisham hit a 2-2 offering into center field for his second multi-RBI game in seven days.
