Trent Grisham Booed by Yankee Fans After Major Error as New York Gets Swept
How could this happen?
In a Fourth of July game, the New York Yankees faced off against the Cincinnati Reds, and things went poorly for the Yankees from the start.
Cincinnati quickly took a 2-0 lead with home runs from second baseman Jonathan India and right fielder Nick Martini. By the fifth inning, left fielder Spencer Steer added a three-run homer, extending the Reds’ lead to 5-0. All these home runs came off New York’s starting pitcher Marcus Stroman.
The Yankees attempted a comeback, scoring two runs in the bottom of the fifth with home runs from first baseman Ben Rice and catcher Austin Wells. In the seventh, right fielder Juan Soto also hit a home run, but the Reds maintained control.
Ultimately, Cincinnati won 8-4 and swept the Yankees.
However, the situation worsened for New York.
In the top of the ninth inning, Cincinnati’s third baseman Jeimer Candelario hit what seemed to be a routine single to center field. But Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham mishandled the ball due to a lack of focus, allowing Candelario to advance to second base.
Yankee fans expressed their frustration loudly.
It’s remarkable that someone paid so well could make such an error.
