Valdez’s struggles versus left-handed power overshadow a strong showing by Fried as the Braves’ lefty dominated a weakening Astros lineup; Chisholm’s grand slam off Valdez and Grisham’s late shot punctuated a blowout win in the Yankees’ favor. Houston’s bats went quiet for the 12th time in 20 games, while New York exploited Valdez’s lefty misfires and rode a multi-HR surge to a dominant 7-1 victory.
