Fate brings the New York Yankees, Houston Astros together again

The New York Yankees and Houston Astros seem destined to do this forever. The 2017 American League Championship is still fresh in everyone’s mind, but the postseason history between these two teams stretches back two years earlier.

The 2015 AL Wild Card Game included a star-studded Yankees lineup and a scrappy Astros lineup with the eventual Cy Young winner—Dallas Keuchel.

The Yankees threw out Masahiro Tanaka into the winner-take-all affair. In his first career MLB postseason game, the right-hander battled through five innings of two-run baseball. Unfortunately for the Yanks, solo home runs from Colby Rasmus and Carlos Gomez drained the life out of Yankee Stadium.
