Trent Grisham hit a home run and brought in three runs, which doubled his previous numbers in both areas. The New York Yankees beat the Minnesota Twins 8-5 on Thursday night, marking their eighth win in a row and completing a sweep of the season series.
Manager Aaron Boone expressed his excitement for Grisham’s performance, noting that he hadn’t been playing as much as usual but still made a big impact in the game.
Juan Soto, a key player for New York, had to leave the game due to discomfort in his left forearm after a 56-minute rain delay before the sixth inning. He will have imaging done on Friday to determine the extent of the injury.
Gleyber Torres hit a two-run double for the Yankees, who now have a record of 45-19, the best in the league, surpassing Philadelphia. They have won 25 of their last 31 games and are on their longest winning streak since June 2022.
Boone highlighted the team’s diverse contributions as a special aspect of their success.
Next up for the Yankees is a series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, which Boone anticipates will have an incredible atmosphere.
Gold Glove shortstop Anthony Volpe made two impressive defensive plays in the late innings, including a diving catch to end the eighth inning with two runners on base.
