Yankees slug 4 HRs, extend winning streak to 7 games with 12-4 win over Astros
HOUSTON (AP) --- Infielders Jazz Chisholm Jr., Ryan McMahon, Ben Rice and Jos
Caballero each homered and the New York Yankees extended their winning streak
to seven games with a 12-4 win over the Houston Astros on Friday night.
They became the third group of starting infielders to accomplish the feat for
the Yankees, following Babe Dahlgren, Joe Gordon, Frankie Crosetti and Red
Rolfe in 1939, and Mark Teixeira, Robinson Can, Eduardo Nez and Ramiro Pea
in 2011.
Chisholm, who had four RBIs and scored three runs, hit his second homer of the
season and second in two days. His two-run single capped a three-run first
inning and he added his homer in the fourth. He had an RBI single in the
seventh.
McMahon hit a solo home run in the second, and Rice, who had two RBIs and
scored three runs, added a solo shot, his ninth of the season, in the seventh.
Caballero, who had an RBI single in the sixth, hit a solo homer in the four-run
seventh.
Giancarlo Stanton had an RBI single in the sixth before exiting three batters
later with right lower leg tightness after being unable to score from second on
a J.C. Escarra single to the left field wall. After being checked out by a
trainer, Stanton left and was replaced by Randal Grichuk.
Aaron Judge went 0 for 2 with three walks for the AL-leading Yankees (17-9).
Will Warren (3-0) allowed two runs on seven hits with six strikeouts in six
innings. Warren has allowed two runs or fewer in five of his six starts this
season.
Lance McCullers Jr. (1-2) allowed seven runs --- five earned --- on six hits
with four walks and three strikeouts in five innings. McCullers has yielded at
least four runs in each of his last three starts.
Yainer Diaz had an RBI single and a solo home run, and Braden Shewmake hit a
solo shot for the Astros, who lost their fifth straight at home. Yordan Alvarez
had two singles to extend his hitting streak to 10 games.
Up next
Yankees LHP Ryan Weathers (1-2, 3.18 ERA) will start opposite Astros RHP Mike
Burrows (1-3, 6.75) in the second game of the three-game set on Saturday night.
