Tytuł: Astros lose sixth straight in 4-1 defeat to Yankees Wiadomość wysłana przez: EeloJeme Sierpnia 03-08-2019, 04:44:35 Things are probably pretty bleak when Tyler White has been your best hitter for more than a few games. White, who had five doubles and eight walks in the past week entering tonight, collected another two-bagger and scored a run, but that was all Houston could muster in a 4-1 loss—the Astros sixth straight—to the New York Yankees. Gary Sanchez and Gleyber Torres both hit two-run homers for the Yankees to send the Astros to their longest losing streak in nearly four years.The Astros lost to the Yankees, 4-1. They are 48-29. This is Houston's first six-game losing streak since July 7-12, 2015.— Chandler Rome (Chandler_Rome) June 22, 2019Early on, it looked as though James Paxton might cruise through the Astros’ lineup, like we’ve seen many times before. Paxton needed only eight pitches to get through the first inning https://www.houstonastrosteamshop.com/Astros_Jon_Singleton_Jersey-32 (https://www.houstonastrosteamshop.com/Astros_Jon_Singleton_Jersey-32), even though he fell behind Michael Brantley 3-1.Brad Peacock had a more inauspicious start than Paxton. After retiring Aaron Judge, who was hitting leadoff for the first time in his career, Peacock allowed a double to Sanchez and single to Didi Gregorius to put runners at the corners with one away. Giancarlo Stanton, who also came off the injured list this week for the Yankees and was playing in just his sixth game of the season, strode to the plate.Peacock coaxed a groundball from the Yankees’ behemoth designated hitter that resulted in a fantastic double play completed by an overturned Jose Altuve, who fired an accurate throw to first to end the inning despite being flipped on a clean slide by Gregorius.Both pitchers put up a scoreless second inning and it looked like the Astros would score the game’s first run after Myles Straw began the third with a double https://www.houstonastrosteamshop.com/Astros_Cesar_Geronimo_Jersey-100 (https://www.houstonastrosteamshop.com/Astros_Cesar_Geronimo_Jersey-100). Paxton struck out Alex Bregman and retired Brantley on a weak grounder before issuing a walk to Altuve on four pitches. Paxton ended the threat with another groundball and the Astros stranded two runners in consecutive innings.Peacock sandwiched strikeouts around a Cameron Maybin single before Sanchez deposited his 23rd home run of the season 481 feet deep into the leftfield bleachers to give New York a 2-0 lead in the third.

After two quick outs, White hit a double and Jake Marisnick fought off a tough pitch for a double the other way to score the Astros first (and only) run.The astros answer right back, cutting the lead to 2-1 on an RBI double by JSMarisnick. |
