Yankees Secure Narrow 5-4 Win Over Astros with Grisham Homer

The New York Yankees secured a much-needed 5-4 victory over the Houston Astros on Saturday at Yankee Stadium, thanks to Trent Grisham's clutch eighth-inning home run that broke a tie and energized the team amid recent struggles. The game saw the Yankees squander a two-run lead in the eighth inning due to bullpen errors and defensive miscues, including a crucial throwing error by Camilo Doval and a throwing error by Jasson Dominguez, which allowed the Astros to tie the game. Luis Gil delivered a strong pitching performance, allowing just two runs over 5.1 innings with seven strikeouts, rebounding after giving up a leadoff homer to Jeremy Peña. The Yankees' offense capitalized early against Astros starter Framber Valdez with timely walks and singles, building an early lead that was later erased. David Bednar stabilized the bullpen by securing five outs to close the game after the Astros tied it in the eighth, while Grisham's 21st homer of the season marked a pivotal moment that lifted the Yankees amid a challenging stretch. The win ended a brief losing streak and provided hope for the team to bounce back as they prepared for the series finale.
