The Houston Astros fell in unspectacular fashion to the New York Yankees in the home opener for the opponent this series. There was a lot of excitement building up to the start of the game with talks of this team even flirting with the word “sweep” in some whispers in Houston Astros chatter. Well, maybe it was just me that was doing most of the whispering.
But Charlie Morton got the nod to take the bump for Game 3 and things started out quite well for him. He was tactical with his pitches and he was even able to successfully strike out Aaron Judge with his first at-bat.
