The New York Yankees aren't done yet. They proved that Friday night with a lifesaving 4-1 win over the Houston Astros in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series at Yankee Stadium after a bungling four-error loss put them on the brink Thursday.
On an evening when they had to claim victory or watch their season end in flames, they won behind a hot start and never looked back.
In the first inning, the Yanks plated four runs. It kicked off with DJ LeMahieu's solo shot. Then, after no-doubt hits from Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres, Aaron Hicks smacked a three-run shot off the foul pole.
