The Astros Are Showing the Yankees How Far They Have to Go

NEW YORK — As the dugout emptied around him after the Yankees’ third straight loss to the Astros put their 2022 campaign on the brink, New York righty Domingo Germán did not quite mourn the season. But he watched Houston’s players celebrate and thought about how far away joy like that felt.

“We have a saying,” he said through team interpreter Marlon Abreu. “The team that wins is the one that has fun.” Does he think the Yankees will have enough fun to extend their season?

Germán thought about that. “It depends how we play the game,” he said.
