Trent Grisham proves why he is an essential part of the New York Yankees as he closes the game against the San Diego Padres with his match-winning home run. The player who was previously benched and not given much game time when Juan Soto was in the Yankees is now showing how well-versed he is in his area of expertise. Here’s a quick overview of Grisham’s performance against the Padres.

Trent Grisham delivered his 10th homer of the season

It seems Grisham was waiting for his chance to shine, and the 2025 season gave it to him. To date, he has scored 10 home runs in just 31 games of the 2025 season. Compared to last year, Grisham has come a long way. From scoring 9 home runs in 76, to closing the match with his 10th homer of the season, Grisham is showing that he is made of steel.

On May 8th, 2025, when the Yankees were struggling to get a lead against the Padres, Grisham came on the field and made it clear that he was here to stay. The game was 3-3 when Jason Adam pitched to Grisham, and the latter hit a home run. The match ended with the Yankees taking home the winners' title.

Interestingly, Grisham was a Padres player from 2020 to 2023, which made this match more interesting. Winning against your previous team, when the fans of your current team were previously cursing you, is a win in itself.
