Yankees @ Astros Highlights | 7/9/21

???? YANKEES WIN ???? The Yankees take game one in their return to Minute Maid Park, defeating the Astros 4-0 in what was a very clean, crisp victory. Nestor Cortes got the start, and although he didn't go deep enough to earn the win, he pitched a damn good game. As for the offense, they tallied 12 hits including four doubles to score four runs. Also, Aaron Judge recorded his 500th hit, becoming the 2nd fastest player in franchise history to reach that feat. He's also the 2nd fastest to reach 100 career home runs as well. That's simply amazing. Scoring: Brett Gardner 2-run double (8) DJ LeMahieu 2-run double (12) Pitching: Nestor Cortes - 4.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 SO Lucas Luetge - 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 SO Chad Green - 2.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 SO Jonathan Loaisiga - 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 SO The Bombers will go for the series victory tomorrow night for a primetime showdown between Gerrit Cole and Zack Greinke on FOX.
