Story summary

On Sunday, Nolan Arenado hit his third grand slam of the season in the fifth inning to help the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the New York Yankees 8-4 in Phoenix. The Yankees had led 4-1 but surrendered when reliever Brent Headrick allowed Arenado's slam, tying him with Houston's Yordan Alvarez for the major league lead this season. This victory was Arizona’s 47th comeback win of the year, keeping them competitive for a wildcard spot in the National League. Meanwhile, New York's slim chances to secure the American League East title dwindled further; they need to sweep their upcoming series against Tampa Bay starting Tuesday and receive additional help from other teams to stay alive in the division race.
