Overview

  • Ryan McMahon went 3-for-4 with three RBIs, including a solo homer, before Trent Grisham crushed a three-run shot in the eighth for his 30th of the season and 100th career home run.
  • Carlos Rodón delivered six steady innings, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits to earn his 16th win as the Yankees improved to 78-62.
  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. left with contusions to both knees after separate plays — a right-knee knock on a second-inning grounder and a left-knee collision with Jose Altuve’s helmet on a tag — and said he expects to feel better Friday.
  • Officiating remained a storyline as umpire Brian Walsh ruled a non-catch on a clear transfer by McMahon — not reviewable — a day after ejections for Devin Williams and Aaron Boone, and a ninth-inning bat used by Taylor Trammell was confiscated for review.
  • David Bednar yielded a run and loaded the bases in the ninth before striking out Carlos Correa and Christian Walker, and New York returns home to host first-place Toronto while holding the top AL wild-card slot.
