NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees clubhouse went silent. During the regular season -- win or loss -- New York always played music over the speakers after games.
But that pattern died on Saturday after the Yankees lost 5-0 in Game 3 of the ALCS, putting them at a 3-0 deficit to the Houston Astros, facing a sweep and elimination on Sunday.
As looming disappointment faced them square in the face, the Yankees struggled to come up with words on how they could come back in a series down three games against an Astros team that has not lost a game in the 2022 playoffs so far.
