HOUSTON — \u2014 Trent Grisham<\/a> hit his second grand slam in five days and Jazz Chisholm Jr<\/a>. homered twice to lead the New York Yankees<\/a> to a 7-1 win over the Houston Astros<\/a> on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Max Fried<\/a> (15-5) allowed four hits and a run with five strikeouts in seven innings to get the Yankees back on track after Sunday\u2019s loss to the White Sox that snapped a seven-game winning streak.<\/p>\n

New York stayed 2 1\/2 games behind the first-place Blue Jays in the AL East. Toronto won 12-9 at Cincinnati.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Yankees led by two when Framber Valdez<\/a> (12-8) walked Paul Goldschmidt<\/a> with one out in the fifth before singles by Cody Bellinger<\/a> and Aaron Judge<\/a> loaded the bases. Giancarlo Stanton<\/a> struck out before Grisham\u2019s soaring shot to the seats in left field made it 6-0.<\/p>\n

It was the eighth grand slam this season for the Yankees and first since Grisham connected Friday against the White Sox. <\/p>\n

The Yankees took an early lead with a two-run homer by Chisholm in the second. His solo shot in the eighth made it 7-1 and gave him a fourth multihomer game this season. <\/p>\n

Valdez yielded eight hits and six runs with eight strikeouts in five innings after he threw seven shutout frames in his previous start against Colorado.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Caballero was ejected in the fourth for arguing with plate umpire Ramon De Jesus after it was determined Caballero swung at a pitch that bounced in the dirt and hit him.<\/p>\n

The Astros didn\u2019t get a hit until Cam Smith<\/a> singled with no outs in the fifth. Fried struck out the next three batters.<\/p>\n

Carlos Correa<\/a> singled and scored on a forceout to make it 6-1 in the sixth. <\/p>\n

Key moment <\/p>\n

Grisham\u2019s grand slam put the game out of reach.<\/p>\n

Key stat <\/p>\n

Fried improved to 11-1 in 16 starts after a Yankees loss.<\/p>\n

Up next <\/p>\n

New York RHP Will Warren<\/a> (8-6, 4.30 ERA) opposes RHP Jason Alexander<\/a> (4-1, 4.61) when the series continues Wednesday night. <\/p>\n
