Consider it another challenge met.
The Yankees looked at this series against the defending World Series champs as a test, and just like they did in Houston a little less than a month ago, they passed.
With Wednesday’s 5-3 win in The Bronx, the Yankees won a second straight series against the Astros, thanks largely to Luis Severino, who was terrific again.
The right-hander outdid Dallas Keuchel, giving up just two runs in seven innings, while matching a season-high 11 strikeouts.
