Astros: Offense sputters as Yankees avoid ALCS elimination

ALCS Game Five started much like Game Four went, with the Astros scoring a run off a wild pitch. But things quickly took a turn for the worse and the team never recovered, losing 4-1 to the Yankees on Friday.

The loss means the series will shift back to Houston for a Game Six at Minute Maid Park on Saturday. In all likelihood, it will be a bullpen day for both clubs. AJ Hinch declined to name a starter in his postgame interview, but Jose Urquidy appears the most likely candidate.
