As Trent Grisham stepped into the batter’s box, down a run with runners on the corners in the sixth inning, the Yankee Stadium crowd begged for him to be replaced.
“We want Soto,” a hearty portion of the 48,023 in attendance chanted as Juan Soto leaned on the dugout railing, sitting out a third straight game with forearm inflammation.
The Yankees’ offense had been a shell of itself all weekend without Soto and Grisham, batting fifth on Sunday, came to the plate batting .082 (4-for-49) on the season.
But with one swing, Grisham sent the place into hysteria by clubbing a three-run home run off Tyler Glasnow to send the Yankees to a 6-4 win over the Dodgers that staved off a sweep.
By the end of the night, the chants had changed to “We want Grisham.”
“I liked those too,” Grisham said with a laugh.
With their MLB-leading 20th comeback win of the season, the Yankees (46-21) salvaged the series against the Dodgers (41-26) on a weekend that had a slight October feel to it.
“That’s a playoff atmosphere,” said Aaron Judge, who capped off a three-hit night by clobbering his league-leading 24th home run of the season in the eighth inning. “Fans came to see two great teams do their thing. I know the results weren’t what we wanted for the series, but for the guys to come out and answer tonight against one of the best pitchers in the game, that speaks volumes.”
As did Grisham’s response to the sellout crowd chanting for Soto.
The backup outfielder said it wasn’t about sending a message, but he was happy about how he was able to stay focused on himself instead of what he heard.
Judge, on the other hand, was not thrilled about the chants.
“Grisham works his butt off every single day,” Judge said. “Soto’s out right now, he’s going to be back soon and he’s been carrying this team all year. You go up against good teams like this, the fans pay to come see us do our thing, they want to see the best out there. Soto’s going to heal up and be fine, but man, Grish’ is a heck of a ballplayer. He showed up tonight in a big moment when we needed him.
“I wasn’t too happy with it, but I think he made a good point, got his point across there with the home run.”
In danger of dropping three straight and getting swept for the first time this season, the Yankees trailed 3-2 heading into the bottom of the sixth.
Alex Verdugo and Judge set the table with back-to-back infield singles and then with two outs, Grisham delivered his big swing to put the Yankees ahead 5-3 on the way to yet another comeback win.
Used sparingly through the first two-plus months of the season, Grisham now has five hits — three of them home runs, and each of them giving the Yankees a lead.
“I think it helps a little bit getting some at-bats under my belt in consecutive days,” said Grisham, who also drew a pair of walks. “Just routine. You’ve done it over the last couple days, your body’s used to getting going again, so it’s a little easier.”
Luke Weaver kept the two-run lead intact in the top of the seventh with some escape artistry, entering the game after Caleb Ferguson had put runners on first and second with no outs.
Jose Trevino got the lead runner at third on Kiké Hernandez’s bunt in front of the plate — thanks in part to Andy Pages’ front foot bouncing up over the bag in his slide into third — before Weaver got Mookie Betts to ground into an inning-ending double play.
Luis Gil had started the game for the Yankees and kept the Dodgers’ difficult lineup in check by tossing 5 ²/₃ innings and giving up three runs.
He had allowed just three runs in his last seven starts combined before Sunday, but considering the opponent, certainly did his job.
Oswaldo Cabrera drilled an early home run off the foul pole to give the Yankees’ their first lead of the series, and while the Dodgers came back to take the lead, it gave Grisham a chance to play hero.
“It was huge,” manager Aaron Boone said. “I know a lot of people in there are really excited for him.”
