Yankees center fielder Trent Grisham did his best Aaron Judge impersonation in Seattle on Monday night.
Grisham blasted not one but two home runs as part of a big offensive performance for the Bronx Bombers.
Both of Grisham's home runs were hit to the deepest part of T-Mobile Park as his heroics helped New York beat the Mariners, 11-5.
Grisham's first homer came in the top of the third inning and tied the game at 1-1. His solo shot traveled 412 feet and was his 11th of the season as he continued his torrid pace so far.

During his next at-bat two innings later, Grisham sent another ball to the same spot in deep center field. Grisham's second home run — another solo shot — tied the game once again, this time at 2-2.

Fortunately for Grisham, his efforts would be supported by even more production from his teammates, including catcher Austin Wells' three-run blast. The Yankees tacked on five more runs in the fifth after Grisham's second home run and then added four more runs before the end of the game, highlighted by three in the ninth.
Grisham, whose personal single-season best is 17 home runs in 2022 with the San Diego Padres, now has 12 home runs through 34 games. He also has 22 RBI, already just nine away from matching his entire 2024 total.
He finished Monday's game going 3-for-6.
New York (24-17) and Seattle (22-18) will be back at it Tuesday night with the first pitch set for 9:40 pm ET.
