Grisham leads Yankees over Rangers 9-2 for 16th win in 19 games but Domnguez
hurt hitting wall
NEW YORK (AP) --- Trent Grisham hit a go-ahead, three-run double in a six-run
sixth inning, and the New York Yankees beat the Texas 9-2 Thursday for their
16th win in 19 games on an afternoon the Rangers misplayed four balls in a
difficult sun.
Yankees left fielder Jasson Domnguez left in a cart after crashing into the
wall while catching Brandon Nimmo's drive leading off the first. After the
game, the Yankees said Domnguez has a low grade AC sprain of his left
shoulder, and will be put on the injured list. Concussion tests thus far were
negative.
AL-best New York won its sixth straight series while sending the Rangers to
their seventh loss in 10 games.
Yankees scheduled starter Ryan Weathers was scratched because of illness, Paul
Blackburn pitched the first and 27-year-old right-hander Brendan Beck allowed
two runs, two hits and three walks in three innings-plus of his major league
debut.
Brent Headrick (3-0) pitched 1 1/3 hitless innings. Grisham and Cody Bellinger
had three hits each.
Max Schuemann made his first start this season at shortstop and doubled in the
seventh for his first Yankees hit and RBI.
Texas right fielder Joc Pederson, playing the outfield for the first time since
2023, helped the Yankees get a pair of first-inning triples for the first time
since Carlos Beltrn and Chase Headley on April 22, 2015.
Pederson went to the wall along with center fielder Evan Carter for Paul
Goldschmidt's leadoff drive in the first off MacKenzie Gore (2-3), and the ball
caromed into center. Pederson tried for a backhand diving catch on Bellinger's
liner, and the ball bounced to the wall as Goldschmidt scored.
Grisham's fourth-inning popup dropped on the infield grass in front of
shortstop Corey Seager after third baseman Josh Jung backed off and, after
Bellinger's leadoff walk in the sixth, left fielder Alejandro Osuna broke back
on Amed Rosario's routine fly and couldn't recover as the ball fell for a
single.
Ryan McMahon walked and Grisham laced on opposite-field double that bounced to
the left-center wall for a 4-2 lead. J.C. Escarra, Aaron Judge and Bellinger
followed with RBI singles against the bullpen.
Ezequiel Durn had two RBIs, including a third-inning homer. Rangers
right-hander Peyton Gray left after he was struck on his pitching hand by
McMahon's eighth-inning liner.
Up next Rangers: RHP Kumar Rocker (1-3, 4.71) starts Friday night at home against the Chicago Cubs Yankees: LHP Max Fried (4-1, 2.39) starts Friday night's series opener at Milwaukee, which starts RHP Jacob Misiorowski (2-2, 2.84) to the mound. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB |
