The Yankees brought the ALCS to Game Six, but they didn’t have enough to force a Game Seven. Opportunities came in bunches, but they weren’t able to come through in pivotal situations. Their known strengths in the bullpen ended up allowing each run that crossed the plate for Houston, while the middle relievers did more than expected. Either team looked like they could take control of the game with each inning but the contest remained close right until the end.
Things were looking good for Chad Green once the first batter of the game George Springer struck out on an outside slider.
