Astros 10, Yankees 7: Astros Rain On Yankees For Jeter Day

The final score looked a lot closer than it was.

Charlie Morton allowed a single to start the game and then struck out the next seven hitters he faced. He ended up giving up four runs (three of which came courtesy of some brutal sequencing and a home run) in the game to the team averaging the most runs per game in baseball, so all things considered it should be chalked up as a pretty decent outing for Morton.

Offensively, of course, is where the real story lies.

George Springer started off the game with an eight pitch plate appearance that ended with a home run - his seventh lead off home run of the season - and Josh Reddick hit the very next pitch of the game off the second deck facade in right field for back to back home runs.
