However, Aaron Boone&#8217;s team bounced back with a 5-4 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday. Trent Grisham&#8217;s solo home run in the eighth inning ended up being the difference. After Devin Williams let New York down yet again in the series opener, David Bednar secured the save.<\/p>\n<p>The win comes at a crucial point in the Yankees&#8217; season. New York is 4-6 in their last ten games, falling out of the race in the American League East. A win against the Astros gives them a chance to win their first series in more than a week on Sunday. Grisham&#8217;s home run set up a win that gives fans hope that New York can still recover their season and contend.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-dnt=\"true\" data-width=\"500\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Second-Deck Trent \ud83d\udca3 pic.twitter.com\/BNsP6oVA3n<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 New York Yankees (@Yankees) August 9, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>After the game, Yankees fans took to social media to express their thoughts on the win. MLB Insider Jon Heyman offered his opinion, saying that the victory cleared up one roster spot that was in question in New York.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBig (and needed) win for Yankees. Bednar looks like their closer now,\u201d Heyman said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis Home Run could end up saving the season for the Yankees,\u201d one fan commented.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe homerun that turned the season around\u2026.Let\u2019s go!\u201d another said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGAMECHANGER,\u201d one fan said about Grisham.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExtend\/sign bellinger and Grisham and I\u2019ll call the off season the best of my life,\u201d another commented.<\/p>\n<p>Grisham has come through in clutch moments throughout the Yankees&#8217; season. However, there was a healthy amount of skepticism surrounding New York&#8217;s ability to close out close games. Even after Boone and the front office acquired bullpen help at the trade deadline, the team&#8217;s closers have continued to struggle.<\/p>\n<p>Bednar came in from the Pittsburgh Pirates to back up Williams. After a clean ninth inning against Houston, though, Boone might move him to the closer spot instead of the former All-Star. Regardless of what happens, beating the Astros was huge for a Yankees team hoping to build momentum. They have one more game in the series before hosting the Minnesota Twins.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Yankees got back on track with a close win over the Houston Astros, and fans took to social media to celebrate the win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":75598,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[307,44,40],"class_list":["post-75597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-aaron-boone","tag-mlb","tag-new-york-yankees"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
