The Bombers' new core of Greg Bird, Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez and Didi Gregorius all contributed run-scoring hits to back Masahiro Tanaka's dominant effort as the Yankees remained unbeaten at home this postseason, defeating the Astros, 5-0, in Wednesday's Game 5 of the American League Championship Series presented by Camping World.
Keuchel had mastered the Yankees in their previous two playoff meetings, including a shutdown performance on this same mound in the 2015 AL Wild Card Game. New York turned the tables by chasing Keuchel in the fifth inning, marking the first time it had scored against the left-hander in a postseason setting.
