Overview

  • Ryan McMahon drove in three runs, including a solo homer, and Trent Grisham launched a three-run shot for his 30th of the season.
  • Carlos Rodón worked six innings of two-run ball to earn his 16th victory, tying for the Major League lead.
  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. exited in the fourth inning with contusions to both knees on separate plays, according to the team.
  • Umpire Brian Walsh drew fresh criticism for ruling a Ryan McMahon play a non-catch on a call not subject to review, a day after disputes that led to Devin Williams and Aaron Boone being ejected.
  • After a ninth-inning double, Astros outfielder Taylor Trammell had his bat confiscated for inspection at the Yankees’ request, and he said he did nothing improper.
