Yankees 7, Astros 3: One rogue play propels the Bombers to victory

There was a lot going on at the stadium tonight. It was not only Star Wars Day, but also the first home game against Houston with fans in the stands since the sign-stealing scandal broke. The win tonight was I’m sure a cathartic experience for many of the lucky attendees, as the boos and jeers rained down from the stands. And despite a bantha fodder performance by Domingo Germán, a combination of plate discipline, another dominant bullpen performance, and bit of luck pushed the Yankees’ offense to a 7-3 victory.

Germán, took the mound, hoping that his Solo act could spur the Yankees to victory.
