Astros: Dusty Baker makes costly mistake in loss to the Yankees

As the Houston Astros lose their first series since their trip to Colorado, they drop game two to the New York Yankees 6-3 behind some interesting calls from Manager Dusty Baker. While the bullpen is still banged up, there isn’t much high leverage talent for late into the game, but with it being a one run game, why use an unexperienced arm back-to-back days?

With the umpiring being subpar once again, a blown strike call kept Bryan Abreu and the Astros on the field in the middle of a tense part of the ball game.
