Overview

  • Ryan McMahon went 3-for-4 with three RBIs, including an eighth-inning run-scoring single that set up Trent Grisham’s homer.
  • Trent Grisham’s 30th of the season stretched a 5-3 lead to 8-3 in the eighth, and the Yankees finished off an 8-4 victory to take two of three.
  • Carlos Rodón worked six innings of two-run ball before David Bednar escaped a bases-loaded jam by striking out Carlos Correa and Christian Walker.
  • Umpiring stayed in the spotlight after third-base umpire Brian Walsh ruled a non-catch on a play the Yankees argued was secured, one night after disputed strike calls and ejections.
  • At Aaron Boone’s request, umpires confiscated Taylor Trammell’s bat for league review in the ninth, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. left with contusions to both knees and is day-to-day.
