NEW YORK
Dallas Keuchel pitched three-hit ball for six baffling innings, Colby Rasmus and Carlos Gomez each homered, and the Houston Astros beat the New York Yankees 3-0 Tuesday night in the American League Wild Card game.
The orange-clad Astros now advance to the American League Divison Series, where they will face the defending league champion Royals. Game 1 is Thursday night at Kauffman Stadium.
Keuchel worked 16 scoreless innings against New York in the regular season, and the bearded 20-game winner was just as tough pitching on three days’ rest for the first time in his career.
