Rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the sixth inning, helping the New York Yankees to a 4-3 win over the Houston Astros on Thursday night in a rematch of last season’s American League Championship Series.
“We had a tough night with runners in scoring position and we had some action, even until the end,” Astros manager Dusty Baker said.
“I’m glad we didn’t have to go get him because of too many pitches,” Baker said. “But he settled down. He gave us a chance to win.”Justin Verlander rejoined his former teammates Thursday — two days after he was traded back to Houston by the rebuilding Mets and fewer than nine months after he helped the Astros win the World Series.
Verlander is slated to make the first start of his second stint with the Astros on Saturday, which means he’ll be making a third straight start in New York. He earned wins for the Mets at Yankee Stadium on July 25, and over the Nationals at Citi Field on Sunday, when he recorded his 250th career victory.Hard habit to break
