Sunday’s win was a bit of a weird one. The day after getting no-hit, it seemed like the Yankees were maybe going to have it happen to them again. It took until the seventh, but Giancarlo Stanton finally ended Astros starter José Urquidy’s no-no bid after 6.1 innings, homering to get the Yankees on the board.
Even though they avoided being the first team to ever get no-hit in back-to-back games, a win still didn’t exactly seem on the cards after Stanton’s homer. The Yankees were down 3-1, and that had been their only hit in the last 16 innings.
