HOUSTON (AP) — Trent Grisham hit his second grand slam in five days and Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered twice to lead the New York Yankees to a 7-1 win over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night.
Max Fried (15-5) allowed four hits and a run with five strikeouts in seven innings to get the Yankees back on track after Sunday’s loss to the White Sox that snapped a seven-game winning streak.
New York stayed 2 1/2 games behind the first-place Blue Jays in the AL East. Toronto won 12-9 at Cincinnati.
The Yankees led by two when Framber Valdez (12-8) walked Paul Goldschmidt with one out in the fifth before singles by Cody Bellinger and Aaron Judge loaded the bases. Giancarlo Stanton struck out before Grisham’s soaring shot to the seats in left field made it 6-0.
It was the eighth grand slam this sea
