HOUSTON — Oswaldo Cabrera had a career-high four hits with three RBIs and Giancarlo Stanton added a solo homer to lead the New York Yankees over the Houston Astros 7-1 on Friday night.
Manager Aaron Boone is thrilled to see Cabrera's strong start after he struggled early this spring.
"He's delivered," Boone said. "In these first two games he's been right in the middle of everything. And it's so good to see him swinging the bat like this and contributing offensively like this because then he becomes so valuable."
The victory, in which second baseman Gleyber Torres exited after being on a hand with a pitch, came after New York rallied from a four-run deficit for a 5-4 win in Thursday night's season opener.
