It may sound crazy, but the Astros aren’t exactly Yankees kryptonite.
An odd take, particularly given the Yankees just lost 2-1 in a random one-off game in Houston. Anthony Rizzo’s home run was the only support Luis Severino received in an overall strong effort. On Houston’s end, Alex Bregman’s double was more than enough.
Except, Bregman’s double was just one of three Astros hits compared to the Yankees’ five. In fact, Houston didn’t register any hits after the third inning. They didn’t even have a baserunner until Yuli Gurriel’s walk in the seventh inning.
