Yankees.com: Yanks unable to ‘control the zone’ in Game 3

The Yankees continue to believe that they can slug their way to a parade through the Canyon of Heroes, even against elite pitching. That has not been the case in two of three games during this American League Championship Series, and it must change quickly if they are to extend their season.

Though the Yankees battled Gerrit Cole as well as any of his recent opponents, placing multiple runners on base in four of the AL Cy Young Award contender’s seven scoreless innings, the Bombers were unable to capitalize as the Astros celebrated a 4-1 victory in Tuesday’s Game 3 of the ALCS at Yankee Stadium.
