The Yankees turned Daikin Park into their personal launching pad, scoring 12 runs on 13 hits to demolish the Astros 12-4 and extend their winning streak to six games. New York scored in seven different innings, never allowing Houston to mount a serious comeback.
Jazz Chisholm anchored the offensive assault with a 3-for-4 performance that included a home run and four RBIs. The versatile infielder delivered a two-run single in the first inning and added a solo homer in the fourth. Ben Rice contributed three runs and two RBIs, including a towering 402-foot home run in the seventh inning.
The Yankees seized control early, scoring three times in the opening frame. Grisham scored on Rice's fielder's choice, aided by a throwing error from Jose Altuve. Chisholm Jr. then singled to right, bringing home both Bellinger and Rice to make it 3-0. Ryan McMahon's 336-foot homer in the second extended the lead to 4-0 before Houston could respond.
Will Warren earned his third win without a loss, allowing just two earned runs over six innings while striking out six. Lance McCullers absorbed the loss for Houston, surrendering seven runs in five innings with his ERA now at 6.75. The Astros managed only brief resistance, with Yainer Diaz and Shewmake hitting back-to-back homers in the seventh.
New York improved to 16-9 and maintained their hold on first place in the division. Houston fell to 10-16 despite snapping a losing streak, remaining in last place in their division.
