Aug 29, 2025; Chicago, Illinois, USA; New York Yankees center fielder Trent Grisham (12) celebrates with teammates after hitting a grand slam against the Chicago White Sox during the fourth inning at Rate Field. Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Trent Grisham hit a grand slam, Anthony Volpe also homered and Carlos Rodon pitched six strong innings as the visiting New York Yankees routed the Chicago White Sox 10-2 on Friday.
Rodon, who spent the first seven seasons of his career with the White Sox, held his old team in check in his first appearance at Rate Field since September 2021.
Rodon (15-7) yielded one run and seven hits while walking two and striking out five.
New York stretched its winning streak to a season-best six games. The Yankees took a half-game lead over Boston for the first American League wild card and moved within three games of the first-place Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East.
Chicago has lost four in a row, including the past three by a combined 25 runs.
Grisham scored the game’s first run in the first inning when Ben Rice grounded into a double play. He walked to lead off the game and was later part of a double steal with Aaron Judge, who also walked.
Grisham delivered the game’s defining hit in the fourth, reaching Chicago starter Yoendrys Gomez for a grand slam. It was Grisham’s seventh home run in the past 10 games and his second grand slam this season.
Gomez (3-2) permitted five runs, four earned, on only two hits — Grisham’s grand slam and a Austin Wells single in the third. Gomez walked six and struck out six.
The White Sox drew to within 5-1 on Chase Meidroth’s run-scoring infield single in the fifth.
It hardly fazed the Yankees, who pulled away with three runs in the sixth and two more in the seventh. Volpe delivered an RBI single and two-run home over that stretch to finish 2-for-4 with three RBIs. It was his second consecutive multi-hit game in the series after he went 1-for-37 in his previous 11 games.
Chicago out-hit New York 12-7. Andrew Benintendi and Meidroth both had two hits and RBI, while Edgar Quero, Michael A. Taylor and Brooks Baldwin contributed two hits apiece.
Wells had two hits and an RBI for the Yankees.
White Sox reserve catcher Korey Lee pitched for the second time in three games, working a perfect ninth inning.
Chicago placed first baseman Miguel Vargas (sprained left hand) on the 10-day injured list before the game. Tim Elko, recalled from Triple-A Charlotte as Vargas’ replacement, went 0-for-4.

How TCU social media leaned into Bill Belichick hype: Memes, one-liners and plenty of receipts
TCU had a heckuva time ruining Bill Belichick’s big debut at North Carolina on Monday night. The only one who might’ve had as much fun as the Horned Frog players in Chapel Hill was 32-year-old Sam Lazarus.TCU’s director of football creative media, like the rest of the Horned Frogs, had taken note of how everything surrounding Monday night’s game was about Belichick and his team. Of course, that wasn’t a shock considering that the 73-year-old Belichick, the greatest coach in NFL history, was coaching his first game at the college level. The curiosity factor of that probably even topped what the Horned Frogs faced when they opened up two years ago against Colorado in Deion Sanders’ first FBS game. Still, for a team coming off a nine-win season with most of its top talent returning, the disrespect of being reduced […]

Venus Williams exits US Open in style after age-defying run
Venus Williams' memorable US Open doubles run came to an end with a quarter-final loss at Flushing Meadows.The 45-year-old made an age-defying return to tennis this year, becoming the oldest WTA singles match winner since 2004 in July, and her matches in the women's singles, doubles and mixed doubles made her appointment viewing. Her partnership with Canadian Leylah Fernandez had drawn packed crowds in the first three rounds, and it was the same against top seeds Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova on Louis Armstrong Stadium.

2025 Fantasy football draft strategy: Tiers, cheat sheets, PPR deep sleepers, breakout picks via NFL expert
One of the biggest challenges for Fantasy football managers each season is projecting the roles of rookies. Depth charts offer hints, but real trust develops as the season unfolds, and identifying a few deep fantasy sleepers can give your roster a significant boost. Reliable 2025 Fantasy football rankings can help managers target polarizing prospects like Cam Skattebo, Jaydon Blue, and Jack Bech. Top options such as Josh Allen, Saquon Barkley, Ja'Marr Chase, and Brock Bowers dominate their Fantasy position rankings, but building a strong team comes down to middle- and late-round fantasy strategy. With last-minute 2025 Fantasy football drafts going on the clock, managers are scrambling to lock in early picks and uncover late-round sleepers. In PPR leagues, high-volume receivers are particularly valuable, while running backs tend to be the key to success in standard scoring leagues. Before locking in […]
Benches clear, ejections handed in Giants-Rockies matchup after Rafael Devers homer
DENVER — Rafael Devers paused to admire his home run as it soared into the second deck in the first inning Tuesday night. More than 10 minutes later, in a bizarre and wild scene at Coors Field, Devers finished his trot around the bases and crossed the plate.Here’s what happened in between: a benches-clearing incident between the San Francisco Giants and Colorado Rockies that involved more shoving than punching that ended in three ejections and brought a little spice to the penultimate game in the season series between the NL West adversaries.AdvertisementIt began when Devers, the second batter of the game, hit a two-run home run and milked the moment a bit too long in the estimation of Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland, who walked off the mound and started a shouting match across the infield. Devers was vociferous in reply. […]
WATCH: Giants, Rockies get into benches-clearing brawl after Rafael Devers admires home run off Kyle Freeland
Getty Images Two batters into the Giants vs. Rockies game in Colorado's Coors Field Tuesday, three players were ejected. Giants first baseman Rafael Devers -- who has been on fire of late -- hit a two-run shot to right field and apparently admired it far too long for Rockies' starter Kyle Freeland's tastes. Freeland started yelling at Devers, Devers yelled back and, well, you get the picture. And the benches cleared. A better angle to see Freeland start yelling at Devers is here: In this highlight, you can see Giants third baseman Matt Chapman get to Freeland and shove him. Chapman was ejected along with Giants shortstop Willy Adames. On the Rockies' end, Freeland was ejected. We don't often see brawls during home run trots, right? There was a Carlos Gomez home run in Atlanta a decade ago with reactions on […]
