💣 Trent Grisham’s solo home run in the fifth inning pulled the Yankees to within 5-4 and his second homer in the eighth increased their lead to 10-5. The two-homer game was the eighth of his career and second this season. He hit two against the Angels on April 13.
💣 The home runs were Grisham’s third and fourth in August, tying him for his most-productive month of the season. He hit four in April. Since he joined the Yankees, August has been his most productive home run month. He has now hit 15 in August, followed by 13 in April.
💣 For his career, Grisham has hit 34 home runs in August — 12 more than his second-most productive month, April (22).
💣 Grisham became the 61st batter to homer off Seattle starting pitcher Bryce Miller, who has given up six homers to New York — tied with Minnesota for the second-most allowed to any team against him. Miller has allowed eight to Texas.
💣 The blast off Miller was Grisham’s 63rd career solo home run.
💣 The at-bat was Grisham’s 58th this season where he put the first pitch in play. He is 20-for-58 (.345) on initial pitches with 10 extra-base hits — including two homers. It was the 10th first-pitch homer of his career.
💣 Grisham's first homer was his 17th off a sinker — followed by an 18th off Nick Davila later in the game. At 364 feet, the first drive was tied for his 19th-shortest career homer (his shortest: a 334-foot shot off Cade Cavalli on Aug. 27, 2025).
💣 The two-run homer off Davila was Grisham’s 33rd career two-run home run. It came on a 1-1 pitch, the 17th of his career on that count — his most productive. It was also his 19th home run hit in the eighth inning, his most productive frame.
💣 The home runs were his fifth and sixth against Seattle, while Miller and Nick Davila became the 98th and 99th pitchers he has homered off.
