Trent Grisham slam in 9th lifts Yankees past Braves
Grisham hit a slider from Raisel Iglesias (4-6) into the right field seats to help New York take its first lead and end its three-game losing streak. It was Grisham's 17th homer, tying his career best.
Luke Weaver (2-3) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings and earned the win.
Anthony Volpe sparked the New York offense with a pair of home runs, his 11th and 12th, and a sacrifice fly.
Volpe's first homer was a two-run shot in the fifth off Wander Suero that put New York on the scoreboard after the Braves scored the game's first five runs. The second was a solo homer off Dylan Lee that tied the game 8-8 in the eighth. It was Volpe's first multi-home run game of the season.
The Braves built a 5-0 lead thanks in part to a 438-foot solo homer by Michael Harris II, his seventh of the season and first since June 13, and a three-run homer by Ozzie Albies, his ninth. Albies added a two-run single in the fifth to give Atlanta a 7-2 lead.
New York rallied against the Atlanta bullpen, scoring four times against Enyel De Los Santos in the sixth to pull within 7-6. Jazz Chisholm Jr. drove in the first run with a single and Aaron Judge scored on an error. Volpe followed with a deep sacrifice fly and Chisholm scored on an infield grounder.
Atlanta extended the lead to 8-6 on Matt Olson's RBI single in the sixth, but New York got it back on Cody Bellinger's solo homer, his 17th, in the seventh.
Atlanta's Joey Wentz made his first start of the season and threw four scoreless innings. He allowed two hits and one walk with two strikeouts. Wentz, signed after being released by Minnesota, has not allowed a run in seven innings since joining the Braves.
New York starter Will Warren was knocked out after allowing five runs on five hits and three walks in 3 2/3 innings of work. He struck out five.

‘One of the most astonishing PR moves in tennis history' – Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner slammed for coach decision
JANNIK SINNER has rehired the fitness coach that played a key role in his failed drugs tests last year. Prior to winning Wimbledon this summer, Sinner, 23, served a three-month ban after twice testing positive for banned substance clostebol in March 2024. 3 3 Sinner's explanation was that a spray purchased over-the-counter in Italy by fitness coach Umberto Ferrara had been used by physio Giacomo Naldi to treat a cut. Naldi is then said to have contaminated Sinner with the substance while massaging his feet. The world No1 was not initially suspended, and in August last year an International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) tribunal determined that he bore "no fault or negligence" for the contamination. Following the decision, Sinner axed both Ferrara and Naldi and went on to win the US Open and Australian Open. The Italian went on to hire Novak Djokovic 's former fitness team Marco Panichi and Ulises Badio - but parted with both prior to his Wimbledon triumph. Sinner has since filled the vacancy by turning back to Ferrara, in a decision that has raised eyebrows among the tennis community. Former doubles Grand Slam champion Paul McNamee wrote on X: "Jannik Sinner rehiring Umberta Ferrara has to be up there as one of the most astonishing PR moves in tennis history. You can afford to hire anyone in the world. Why oh why Jannik?" Sinner eventually served a three-month ban after this year's Australian Open following the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) decision to appeal the ITIA's previous verdict to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Prior to the appeal reaching a courtroom, an agreement was reached between WADA and Sinner for the reigning No1 to serve a three-month ban - which enabled him to return in time for his home tournament in Rome, Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Upon axing Ferrara and Naldi last August, Sinner said: "I'm not feeling that confident to continue with them." Since then, Ferrara appeared to attempt to shift the blame towards Naldi during an interview with Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport. Sinner's fitness coach said: "I very clearly communicated to Naldi both the nature of the product, and the fact that it must not come into contact with Jannik for any reason." He then went onto add: "I suggested that he use it because he had a cut on his finger that wasn't healing and was affecting his work. I only allowed it to be used in my personal bathroom. "Naldi did not deny being told about it, but he said he did not remember." Confirming Ferrara's return to the team, a Sinner statement read: "Jannik Sinner has reappointed Umberto Ferrara as his fitness coach with immediate effect. "The decision has been made in alignment with Jannik's management team as part of ongoing preparations for upcoming tournaments, including the Cincinnati Open and U.S. Open. 'Umberto has played an important role in Jannik's development to date, and his return reflects a renewed focus on continuity and performance at the highest level.' Sinner has withdrawn from next week's Masters 1000 event in Canada. The Wimbledon champion is next scheduled to appear in Cincinnati, before his US Open title defence begins next month. 3

I've only had two before the last season, two big ones in the six years, seven years that I've played professional football."So, it's definitely different from anything that I've been used to, but I feel like I'm getting there every day, slowly, slowly."So hopefully by the time the season comes, I'm ready to go. I mean, that was the first time I played 90, so I started cramping towards the end, but the body's getting there.""Once that goal went in, it was just a massive sigh of relief after so long. Getting my first one and thankfully it happened before the season started."

Nick Kyrgios makes feelings very clear as Jannik Sinner causes new controversy
Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner has reappointed former fitness coach Umberto Ferrara, who the men's world No.1 dropped after he tested positive for a banned substance Nick Kyrgios claims that the tennis world has been 'played' after Jannik Sinner reappointed the same fitness coach who he dropped in the wake of his doping scandal. Sinner, 23, confirmed on Wednesday that he'd reunited with Umberto Ferrara just weeks after winning Wimbledon for the first time. The Italian parted ways with both Ferrara and physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi last year following an investigation into his two positive tests for the banned substance clostebol. Tennis chiefs accepted that the substance had entered his system inadvertently during massages from Naldi at Indian Wells in March 2024. After agreeing a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency, Sinner served a three-month suspension earlier this year. Critics like Kyrgios believe that the men's world No.1 got off lightly. The 30-year-old former Wimbledon finalist has been outspoken about the length and timing of Sinner's ban which allowed him not to miss a Grand Slam. After Sinner beat rival Carlos Alcaraz in the men's singles final, Kyrgios posted an asterisk. On Wednesday, Kyrgios reacted to the news of Ferrara's reappointment. "Unfortunately this isn't @TennisCentel," he posted on X, referencing the popular parody news account. In a later post, Kyrgios said: "He got the same doc back. We have been played ladies and gentlemen." His post included three laughing emojis and five potato emojis. A statement from Sinner's team pointed to Ferrara's 'important role' in the four-time Grand Slam winners' development. "The decision has been made in alignment with Jannik's management team as part of ongoing preparations for upcoming tournaments, including the Cincinnati Open and US Open," it read. Should Jannik Sinner have received a bigger punishment? Have your say in the comments section. "Umberto has played an important role in Jannik's development to date, and his return reflects a renewed focus on continuity and performance at the highest level." Sinner, though, doesn't think that his reputation has been badly damaged by the scandal, suggesting that people have already 'forgotten' about the issue. When asked if he had any concerns about the reception he'd receive at Wimbledon, Sinner replied: "To be honest, no... I think people kind of have forgotten already a little bit what happened. "Of course, there are still things, but so many things, new notifications, whatever, coming. So that's the good and the bad of social [media] that something happens and people don't know anymore what happened yesterday. "In the other way, I have good relationship with more or less all players like I had before. Of course, in the beginning it was a bit different. People saw me in different ways. But I think they all saw that I'm a very clean player. "I never [had the] intention to do anything bad. I always try to be the best I can, having a good team around me. That's exactly what I try to do in the future. The things I can control, I will control, as I always say, also on the court and off the court. It was an incident, yes. It happened. But yeah, the result also says that I haven't done anything on purpose. It's all good."
