Yankees Slip Into a Power Struggle for the Ages in ALCS

HOUSTON—The Yankees’ hitters have no answer for the Astros’ pitchers.

“It’s tough to say,” said rightfielder Aaron Judge, who is 1–for–8 in the American League Championship Series.

“I’m at a loss for words right now,” said outfielder Matt Carpenter, who is 0-for-5 with five strikeouts.

“I think we're gonna go into this off day and kind of take a step back, take a breath and reflect on what we need to really work on and adjust to get going again,” said catcher Kyle Higashioka, who is 0–4 with four strikeouts.

Judge finished Game 2 hitting 1-for-4 with a run scored in the Yankees’ 3-2 loss.
