Trent Grisham’s price keeps going up.

The New York Yankees’ impending free agent drilled two homers on Wednesday night — his third in two games — as the Bombers defeated the Minnesota Twins 10-5 in the rubber match of a three-game set. Grisham’s first homer of the night was a solo shot to tie the game at two in the top of the third and his second blast was a three-run shot in the fourth, expanding the Yankees' lead to 6-2.

Grisham has been a revelation for the Yankees, leaving rookie Jasson Dominguez — who went 1 for 3 with an RBI double on Wednesday — without an everyday role. The 28-year-old carried the offensive load for the Yankees in their victory as it was much-needed with a subpar starting pitching performance.

Luis Gil took the mound and was ineffective, breaking a streak of seven solid starts in a row. The right-hander tossed 4 2/3 innings, allowing five runs — four earned — on nine hits. The reigning AL Rookie of the year raised his season ERA to 3.33.

The Yankees saw another encouraging performance from Devin Williams. The right-hander tossed a scoreless seventh inning allowing one hit but striking out three. It’s the fifth straight scoreless outing for Williams as he builds momentum heading into October.

Outside of Grisham, Cody Bellinger and Aaron Judge were the other big-time performers in the Yankee lineup as they both recorded multi-hit games. Judge went 3 for 4 with two runs scored and a walk and Bellinger went 2 for 4 with a ninth-inning two-run homer — his 29th of the season — to make the game 10-5.

Camillo Doval recorded the final three outs to secure the victory and leave Minnesota with a series win.

The Yankees will now travel to Baltimore to begin a four-game set with the Baltimore Orioles. Max Fried will take the mound against Cade Povich in their final road series of the regular season.
