Any Yankees–Astros series has playoff potential at this point. These last four games in the Bronx proved no exception as the two bitter rivals faced off again.
Now that the dust has settled on this series split, there are some clear takeaways that don’t need their own entry. The Yankees are a good team, and so are the Astros. As usual, the Yankees put up a big fight, but so did the Astros. Just ask Cristian Javier, the winning pitcher in Saturday’s no-hitter.
But more importantly, this series painted a picture of what to expect from the Yankees the rest of the season.
