Yankees Game 101: Offense struggles with contact in loss

New York Yankees 1 – Houston Astros 4

After taking the first two games of the three-game series, the Yankees looked to sweep the Houston Astros.

Masahiro Tanaka and Lance McCullers pitched a scoreless first inning but some lack of command came back to haunt Tanaka in the second inning. After striking out Colby Rasmus, Masahiro Tanaka walked Preston Tucker and Alex Bregman before Carlos Gomez put the Astros on the board with a run-scoring single. The Astros continued their scoring in the third inning.
