Yankees Collapse in Houston | New York Yankees News

The Yankees’ hot offense went cold in a 5-1 loss to the Astros, as they managed just five hits and went zero-for-nine with runners in scoring position. Gerrit Cole pitched decently but couldn’t carry the team, while rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. added to his error streak—his sixth straight game with an error that cost them a run. Despite a brief spark from Ben Rice’s double and Lombard’s first career triple, the defense kept letting them down. The Astros’ Hayden Wesneski, a former Yankee prospect, dominated with just one run allowed. With the series now 2-1 against them, the Yankees face a crucial four-game set against the Red Sox starting Friday night.
