On Friday night, both the 8 and 9 innings seemed to celebrate the Yankees' comeback to the Astros for the second consecutive day.
However, the final problem with these innings was the same as the first 7 innings. The Yankees didn't bring either of them, even if they had two guys on each of the eight and nine innings. Runner's house. D.J. Remeil then ended the Yankees'3-1 defeatwith a ground out and erased nine rallies. These failures caught up with them and recorded 15 consecutive home wins.
It was the first time in more than a week that the Yankees couldn't get at least two runs in the game. Their only Friday run was Giancarlo Stanton's six home runs. Eighth, when the Yankees were able to carry two runners, Stanton was one of the three batters who struck out Phil Maton — Aaron Judge and Josh Donaldson were the other two. It was a person.
"I need a better turn at bat at number 8," Stanton later said. "Give us a chance to win."
The same mantra may have been applied to much of the rest of the lineup.
Despite entering the night with a bright red attack, the Yankees bats finally threw 7 innings of 4 hits at the familiar enemy Justin Verlander. I met the game. To lead Houston to victory. The Yankees didn't get a runner on third base all night. Thanks to Luis Severino's own powerful outings, they managed to finish the match, but the lack of attack proved to be their start over.
"I thought there was a right turn at bat for [Verlander]," said manager Aaron Boone. "I thought he had a lot of really good swings just by missing the ball or fouling the pitch, but some of them were about what he was moving the ball and what he was doing. It's a really good idea. "
When the Yankees faced the bullpen, they could at least base the runner on, but if they still run into problems, define this. I couldn't come up with a timely hit like that. Season.
Verlander won his ninth league-leading victory this season and continued to oppose his age at the age of 39. The Yankees will probably move on on their side soon — Friday's defeat is the luxury they have, as it has been the 19th defeat of the season so far.
