Overview
- Trent Grisham accounted for all three New York runs on Tuesday with a third-inning solo homer and a two-run single in the seventh to secure a 3-1 victory over the Orioles.
- Carlos Rodón made his first major-league start since June 28 and was limited to four innings on a pitch count while allowing one run as he works back from elbow inflammation.
- The Yankees bullpen covered five scoreless innings after Rodón exited, with Fernando Cruz recording the final out to preserve the win.
- Hours after the game it was reported that Max Fried was placed on the injured list with a recurring elbow bone bruise, and Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger remain sidelined, leaving the lineup and rotation thin.
- New York sends Will Warren to the mound next while Baltimore plans to use Chris Bassitt, and the series has short-term importance because Baltimore’s lineup includes hot hitters such as Coby Mayo, who homered again and has 17 home runs this season.
