The New York Yankees were unable to cash in on nine opportunities with runners in scoring position and fell to the Houston Astros for the second consecutive game by a score of 5-1.
Houston drew first blood after Yankees’ starter Jordan Montgomery notched a scoreless three innings to begin the contest. After giving up two singles to Carlos Correa and Marwin Gonzalez, former Yankee catcher Brian McCann tattooed an 84 mph changeup from the rookie left-hander and gave the Astros a 3-0 lead with a three-run, second-deck shot to right.
