HOUSTON (CBSNewYork/AP) — A record-setting season by Savages in the Box ended with a string of strikeouts and another October bust for the New York Yankees.
For the first time since the 1910s, the 27-time champions have gone through an entire calendar decade without making it to a World Series.
An AL Championship Series of squandered chances ended when Aroldis Chapman allowed José Altuve’s pennant-winning, two-run homer in the ninth inning Saturday night that gave the Houston Astros a 6-4 win and the pennant in six games.
“No matter how many games we won in the regular season or what else we did, the season’s a failure,” Aaron Judge said.
