Trent Grisham delivered a decisive performance on Tuesday night, driving in all three runs to power the New York Yankees to a 3-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. Grisham launched a pivotal home run and produced timely hits to supply the entirety of New York’s offense, supporting a strong collective effort from the Yankees pitching staff in the division series opener. Facing ongoing scrutiny over early-season offensive struggles, Grisham’s high-impact night provided a needed boost for a Yankees lineup seeking consistent production. The victory allowed New York to gain valuable ground in the competitive American League East standings while handing Baltimore a home loss. The Orioles were unable to capitalize on key scoring opportunities late in the game as New York’s bullpen secured the final outs. Both teams continue their multi-game division series at Camden Yards on Wednesday evening.
