NEW YORK (Reuters) - It was one-and-done for the New York Yankees on Tuesday, as they were eliminated from Major League Baseball's postseason by a 3-0 loss to the Houston Astros in a do-or-die Wild Card playoff game.
"It stinks to lose," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi. "That's the bottom line and it leaves a sour taste in your mouth.
"But I'm extremely proud of the guys in that room."
Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka paid for a pair of imprecise pitches that ended up as long home runs by Colby Rasmus and Carlos Gomez that put Houston ahead for good.
