Yankees Rally With Grisham Grand Slam To Beat Braves 12-9

The New York Yankees staged a dramatic comeback to defeat the Atlanta Braves 12-9 at Truist Park, overcoming early deficits of 5-0 and 7-2. Anthony Volpe ended a prolonged slump with his first career multi-home run game, including a clutch two-run homer in the fifth inning and a game-tying solo shot in the eighth. Trent Grisham sealed the victory with a two-out grand slam in the ninth inning off Braves closer Raisel Iglesias, breaking an 8-8 tie and marking his 17th home run of the season. Despite strong performances by the Braves, including Ozzie Albies’ two consecutive three-run homers and solid early leads, bullpen struggles and defensive errors contributed to their loss. Key defensive plays, such as Nacho Alvarez’s leaping catch in the ninth, helped the Yankees maintain momentum and secure the win. The victory halted the Yankees’ four-game losing streak and prevented them from falling further behind in the AL East standings.
