THE YANKEES GUT OUT A 3-1 WIN IN GAME ONE! Yet another grind but the Yankees get out with a close one! Trent Grisham accounted for all three runs driven in thanks to a solo homer and a big two out, two strike hit in the seventh. That rally was started by Jones & Lombard with a pair of singles. Carlos Rodon threw the ball very well going four innings allowing just a run. His one mistake was a Coby Mayo homer. Four strikeouts in four innings. The Yankee bullpen picked him up in a big way as they covered the final five innings. Yerry De Los Santos threw two big innings, then it was Brent Headrick, Fernando Cruz, Paul Blackburn, and David Bednar. Have to be happy with tonight’s win. Tampa Bay lost to Toronto so the Yanks gain a game there — trail by 5.0 games. Game two tomorrow night as Gerrit Cole gets the start! #LetsGoYankees #EYYRecap2026
