BRONX, N.Y. — During their three-game series with the Houston Astros, the New York Yankees and Yankee fans had a blast at the expense of their hated nemesis. The atmosphere was fun and fierce. The fans and players felt a charge and there was a sense of purpose to this series. While the end was disappointing, the Yankees were able to take the series and move their record above .500 on the early campaign.
GAME 1
This was too sweet. The Yankees. The crowd. They had the Astros shook. New York notched timely hits and played sharp defense with double plays and pitchouts and one second baseman robbing another certain second baseman of a hit.
