NEW YORK (AP) — Trent Grisham hit a go-ahead, three-run double in a six-run sixth inning, and the New York Yankees beat the Texas 9-2 Thursday for their 16th win in 19 games on an afternoon the Rangers misplayed four balls in a difficult sun.
Yankees left fielder Jasson Domínguez left in a cart after crashing into the wall while catching Brandon Nimmo’s drive leading off the first. After the game, the Yankees said Domínguez has a low grade AC sprain of his left shoulder, and will be put on the injured list. Concussion tests thus far were negative.

AL-best New York won its sixth straight series while sending the Rangers to their seventh loss in 10 games.
Yankees scheduled starter Ryan Weathers was scratched because of illness, Paul Blackburn pitched the first and 27-year-old right-hander Brendan Beck allowed two runs, two hits and three walks in three innings-plus of his major league debut.
Brent Headrick (3-0) pitched 1 1/3 hitless innings. Grisham and Cody Bellinger had three hits each.
Max Schuemann made his first start this season at shortstop and doubled in the seventh for his first Yankees hit and RBI.
Texas right fielder Joc Pederson, playing the outfield for the first time since 2023, helped the Yankees get a pair of first-inning triples for the first time since Carlos Beltrán and Chase Headley on April 22, 2015.
Pederson went to the wall along with center fielder Evan Carter for Paul Goldschmidt's leadoff drive in the first off MacKenzie Gore (2-3), and the ball caromed into center. Pederson tried for a backhand diving catch on Bellinger's liner, and the ball bounced to the wall as Goldschmidt scored.
Grisham's fourth-inning popup dropped on the infield grass in front of shortstop Corey Seager after third baseman Josh Jung backed off and, after Bellinger's leadoff walk in the sixth, left fielder Alejandro Osuna broke back on Amed Rosario's routine fly and couldn't recover as the ball fell for a single.
Ryan McMahon walked and Grisham laced on opposite-field double that bounced to the left-center wall for a 4-2 lead. J.C. Escarra, Aaron Judge and Bellinger followed with RBI singles against the bullpen.
Ezequiel Durán had two RBIs, including a third-inning homer. Rangers right-hander Peyton Gray left after he was struck on his pitching hand by McMahon's eighth-inning liner.
Rangers: RHP Kumar Rocker (1-3, 4.71) starts Friday night at home against the Chicago Cubs
Yankees: LHP Max Fried (4-1, 2.39) starts Friday night's series opener at Milwaukee, which starts RHP Jacob Misiorowski (2-2, 2.84) to the mound.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Gunmen opened fire during a funeral at a church in Jordan on Friday, killing seven people and wounding 40 others, authorities said.
The shooting took place at a Greek Orthodox church in Karak, about 90 kilometers (55 miles) south of the capital, Amman.
Footage broadcast on Jordanian state television showed two gunmen who appear to be holding pistols approaching the church and firing shots. A third man who appears to be holding a semiautomatic rifle then approaches and opens fire, and all three then run toward the church.
Video footage taken by witnesses shows broken glass and pools of blood on the floor of the church.
Dorgham Halasa, who was among the mourners inside the church, said intense gunfire erupted 15 minutes after the funeral had started, and then people started running. “It was a weird situation, and heavy gunfire,” Halasa said.
He did not see the gunmen, but said other people reported seeing four of them. The Associated Press could not independently verify the number of assailants, and Jordan’s security services did not immediately release details.
A government statement said that the attack was “carried out by unknown assailants,” but didn't say whether any gunmen were captured or killed. It said that “investigations are underway at full speed.”
Jordan declared three days of national mourning, according to the kingdom’s Petra News Agency.
Karak is home to a minority Christian population.
In 2016, gunmen ambushed police in a series of attacks in Karak, including at a Crusader castle popular with tourists, killing 10 people, including seven officers, and wounding dozens. Jordanian security forces killed those gunmen after a long standoff.
Jordan’s Health Minister Ibrahim al-Budour said two of those wounded are in critical condition.
King Abdullah II said on X that Jordan “will confront the terrorist act that targeted Karak with the harshest penalties” and offered his “deepest condolences to the families of the martyrs, and our wishes for recovery to the wounded.”
Jordan’s Prime Minister Jafar Hassan said during a security meeting in Karak on Friday evening that the attack was a result of terrorist ideology and blind extremism. He said the assailants will be punished and legal measures taken against those who seek to introduce extremism.
Condemnation of the slayings came from around the region, including from Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and Oman.
Ahmed al-Tayeb in Cairo, the grand imam of Al-Azhar, the Sunni Muslim world’s foremost religious institution, offered his condolences to the families of victims in Friday’s shooting, calling it a “heinous terrorist attack.”
Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein called his Jordanian counterpart and “affirmed Iraq’s solidarity with Jordan in the face of terrorism,” Hussein’s office said in a statement.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the attack during a funeral as “especially heinous,” spokesman Stephane Dujarric said. “The secretary-general also calls for all those responsible to be found and to be held to account.”
This story has been corrected to give the distance between Karak and Amman as 90 kilometers instead of 180.
