The Yankees were looking to bounce back against the Astros after Friday night's 3-1 loss to Justin Verlander.
Gerrit Cole allowed the Astros one run over seven innings but was out-pitched by Astros' righty Cristian Javier. - If there’s any team that can stand in the way of the Yankees’ march to the World Series, it’s the Astros. They’ve foiled the Bombers over and over through the years and made yet another statement on Saturday. This time, three Houston pitchers combined to no-hit the Yankees in a 3-0 win at Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees were no-hit for just the eighth time, and the Astros had been the previous team to do it, across the street at the old stadium on June 11, 2003. Roy Oswalt strained his right groin after his second pitch of the second inning, and Pete Munro , Kirk Saarloos , Brad Lidge , Octavio Dotel and Billy Wagner followed in an 8-0 win.
With the fans on their feet, Aaron Judge lashed a sharp one-bouncer at shortstop Aledmys Diaz. He bobbled the ball momentarily before flipping to second for the inning-ending forceout. Cole came into the game riding the ultimate hot streak, having held the Rays hitless over seven innings in his last appearance. He finally allowed a single with one out in the eighth, but the conquest of the Yankees’ division rival was nothing short of a masterpiece, including his 12 strikeouts.
