ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Trent Grisham drove in two runs and made a nice running catch in center field to help the struggling New York Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 on Wednesday night for only their seventh victory in 24 games. Relievers Tim Hill (3-0) and Luke Weaver each worked out of jams to protect a one-run lead, and All-Star closer Clay Holmes came on to bail out the Yankees from yet another tight spot in the eighth as the Rays finished 0 for 10 with runners in scoring positions and stranded 12 runners. Grisham ran down Yandy Díaz's potentially troublesome drive toward the gap in right-center for the final out in the eighth. Holmes got his first save since June 9 with a perfect ninth.
