Trent Grisham, who had a miserable first year in pinstripes, drove in the Yankees’ lone run with a two-out RBI single in the second off righthander Drew Rasmussen, driving in Paul Goldschmidt, who had another good day at the plate (3-for-4).

Carlos Rodon walked four batters, but "he was able to make a big pitch all night long,'' manager Aaron Boone said after the Yankees' fifth straight win.

While Carlos Rodón still walked four batters, they served as just footnotes as he struck out nine across six shutout innings for the Yankees.
