Carlos Rodón pitched six strong innings to tie for the major league victory lead with 16 and Trent Grisham hit his career-high 30th homer of the season and 100th of his career to help the New York Yankees beat the Houston Astros 8-4 on Thursday night.
Ryan McMahon also homered for the Yankees.
New York led by a run in the eighth when McMahon hit an RBI single before Grisham's three-run shot made it 8-3.
The Yankees took two of three in this series for their first series win against a team with a winning record since they swept Seattle from July 8-10.
