Yankees Shut Out Astros, Take 3-2 Lead In ALCS

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Yankees finally figured out Dallas Keuchel, and Masahiro Tanaka enjoyed another dominant performance.

Gary Sanchez homered and drove in two runs as the Yankees shut out the Astros, 5-0, on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium. The win gives the Yankees a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven ALCS.

After being shut out by Keuchel in the 2015 American League wild-card game and Game 1 of this series, the Yankees roughed up the Astros ace, scoring four runs on seven hits before chasing him from the game with two outs in the fifth inning.
