The Yankees fought valiantly tonight, inching back from an early hole and never looking out of it, both in tonight’s Game Six, and in this series as a whole. They just didn’t have quite enough. The Astros continued to prove to be their bogeyman, the one they see in their nightmares, the same big bad haunting them at the end of every long season.
Houston defeated New York by a score of 5-4 to take the ALCS four games to two. Eight months after pitchers and catchers reported, after 162 regular season games and nine postseason contests, 108 of which resulted in victories, the Yankees’ 2019 season ended with a loss.
