The New York Yankees—for the third-straight game—couldn’t cash in when the lights shined brightest. The offense has gone missing in action at the worst possible time.
To make matters worse, the Houston Astros are doing damage with runners on base. A pair of three-run home runs would be enough to keep the Yankees at bay in a pivotal Game 4.
Zack Greinke safely navigated through 4.1 innings, only allowing one run that came during a shaky first inning. Although Greinke wouldn’t last deep into the game, his bullpen provided solid backing. Gary Sanchez‘s two-run homer in the fifth inning was the only blemish during an otherwise strong performance by Houston’s pen.
