After a wild Game 4, and a blown four-run lead, the Yankees and Astros are tied 2-2 in the ALCS. Masahiro Tanaka and Dallas Keuchel duel again Wednesday afternoon; a few quick thoughts before then on the Bombers’ 6-4 victory Tuesday night in the Bronx:
AN ASTRO-NOMICAL MELTDOWN! I figured, during the sixth inning, that the story of Tuesday night’s game would be how one team’s bullpen engineered a loss. But I thought that team would be the Yankees, because shutdown setup man David Robertson allowed three men (two inherited) to score on a Yulieski Gurriel double that provided the first three runs of Game 4.
