The New York Yankees cruised to a seemingly effortless victory tonight over the Houston Astros, thanks to absolutely incredible nights by their big offseason prize Giancarlo Stanton and their staff ace Luis Severino.
Luis Severino pitched an absolute gem in route to his first career shutout and complete game, resulting in his fifth victory of the season. Severino’s counterpart Dallas Keuchel pitched well but served up two huge gopher balls to Stanton as the 2017 NL MVP put the Yankee offense on his back and carried them to a series-leading Game 3 victory.
