Here's all you need to know about the Yankees Tuesday night: Brendan Ryan was their most effective pitcher.
Ivan Nova was rocked for five runs in the first inning, handing Cy Young candidate Dallas Keuchel all the support he would need as the Astros cruised to a 15-1 win over the Yankees in front of 38,015 stunned and mostly silenced fans at the Stadium.
Nova wound up allowing seven runs over four-plus innings, losing his third game in four starts. Nova, who is well on his way to being the odd-man-out in the rotation should the Yankees reach the postseason, gave up seven hits and four walks, striking out one.
