New York Yankees defeat San Diego Padres 5-1 as Trent Grisham enters IL
The New York Yankees defeated the San Diego Padres 5-1 on Saturday, fueled by a four-run second inning highlighted by a two-out RBI double from rookie Spencer Jones. Pitcher Carlos Rodón earned his first win in five starts, holding the Padres to just one run and two hits over five innings.
The Yankees' victory moves them closer to securing their 34th consecutive season with a winning record and maintains their control of the American League wild-card spot. Conversely, the Padres fell half a game behind Arizona in the race for the final National League wild-card position.
In roster news, the Yankees placed outfielder Trent Grisham on the 10-day injured list due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain. Grisham, who suffered a similar injury in June, may miss the remainder of the regular season. In his place, the club has recalled Jasson Domínguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Spencer Jones is expected to take over significant center field duties during Grisham's absence.
