HOUSTON -- The Yankees hit Minute Maid Park on Monday night leading the league in runs, having scored more than seven per game during their nine-game winning streak. They were no match for Charlie Morton.
The veteran Astros right-hander held the Bombers to one run on two hits and two walks and struck out 10 in 7 2/3 terrific innings as Houston held on for a 2-1 win in a rematch of last year's American League Championship Series.
The Astros finished April at 20-10, tying the club's best start through 30 games.
