Graham's first major league decision was a loss for the Minnesota Twins against the New York Yankees on August 18, 2015. He came into the game in the bottom of the 7th with the Twins ahead, 4-1, but loaded the bases before allowing Alex Rodriguez his 25th career grand slam as the Yankees went to win, 8-4.
