After two narrow losses to start the ALCS in Houston, the Yankees returned home and were blanked by the Astros and are now on the brink of being swept.
When the Yankees and Astros met in the ALCS the last two times, the Yankees lost tough, close series.And now, they are perilously close to succeeding, just not in the way they’d hoped.
It’s left the Yankees in the unenviable position of having to win four straight games- starting Sunday night, when Nestor Cortes goes up against Lance McCullers Jr in Game 4. As for the offense, so inept in the first two games of the series that players were questioning their approach, it got even worse on Saturday, much to the dismay of the sold out Stadium crowd.
Cole was excellent in two wins over the Guardians in the ALDS and had good stuff again Saturday, but a key mistake in the outfield burned the Yankees in the second. Gerrit Cole reacts dejectedly after giving up a two-run homer to Chas McCormic in the second inning of the Yankees’ Game 3 defeat.The inning extended, McCormick sent an opposite-field shot out to right that hit the top of the fence and bounced over for a two-run homer- that traveled just 335 feet- to put the Yankees in a 2-0 hole.
