It wasn't the prettiest, but the New York Yankees just took two out of three from the Houston Astros ahead of their crucial homestand against the Toronto Blue Jays and Detroit Tigers. And the AL playoff race is getting tighter and tighter.
The Yankees are playing their best baseball since falling into a 2.5-month slump that booted them in the Wild Card race after they led the AL East by 7.5 games at one point. New York is 8-2 in its last 10 games, and they're leading the ALWC while closing the gap on the Jays.
