Trent Grisham broke through with a bases-clearing double to spark a six-run sixth inning as the New York Yankees defeated the Texas Rangers 9-2 on Thursday afternoon at Yankee Stadium.
Grisham's hit highlighted a strong homestand for the Yankees, who improved to 16 wins in their last 19 games. The team overcame early limited production by capitalizing on walks and timely hitting against the Rangers bullpen. J.C. Escarra, Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger added run-scoring hits in the decisive frame.
