Game 3 was Javier's first start since Oct. In 17 1/3 innings against the Yankees this year, Javier allowed one run on three hits and struck out 21. The third-year righty struck out five in 5 1/3 shutout innings, allowing just the Stanton double and three walks. The error extended the inning and Chas McCormick made the Yankees pay with a two-run homer into the short porch. The TBS broadcast showed Judge in the dugout after the inning and his body language made it clear he knew he screwed up. It was the center fielder's ball and Judge ran directly in front of Bader. It was so routine Vázquez started to jog back to the dugout.īader got the error but Judge should get the blame. Cole was on his way to a quick seven-pitch second inning when Harrison Bader and Aaron Judge had a miscommunication in the outfield, and Christian Vázquez's routine fly ball was dropped for an error. You have to play nearly flawless baseball to beat the Astros and the Yankees have simply not done that this series. McCormick made the Yankees pay for an error Here are four takeaways from Game 3, plus a look ahead to what's next. Only one team in baseball history - the Boston Red Sox in the 2004 ALCS - has overcome a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series, something the Yankees will now try to accomplish. Chas McCormick provided the big hit for the Astros with a second inning two-run homer. New York has scored four runs and struck out 41 times in three ALCS games. Right-hander Cristian Javier, who started Houston's three-pitcher combined no-hitter at Yankee Stadium in June, outdueled Cole and limited the Yankees to one hit in 5 1/3 shutout innings Saturday while the bullpen took care of the rest. The Astros now have four chances to clinch their fourth American League pennant in the last six years. Saturday evening the Astros took a commanding 3-0 lead in the ALCS with a Game 3 win over the New York Yankees and ace Gerrit Cole at Yankee Stadium ( HOU 5, NYY 0).
