Yankees 0, Astros 2: Offense musters just two hits
Tonight’s game was not televised, and it turns out that we were spared from watching some terrible baseball. The Yankees met up with the Astros for the first time since Game Seven of the ALCS, and they were shut out once again. Sure, it’s spring training and the Yankees didn’t use a full major league lineup. Aaron Judge did have the day off, but the Yankees certainly didn’t trot out the B-squad. The only player in tonight’s starting lineup not expected to crack the Opening Day roster was Miguel Andujar, and he has been hitting well in spring training. For whatever reason, Lance McCullers Jr. seems to have the Yankees’ number.
