Giancarlo Stanton went 4-for-5 with a home run and 3 RBI to lift the New York Yankees past the Houston Astros last night, 7-3 in the Bronx.
There were plenty of boos and bad words being hurled down towards the ‘Stros, who got the better of the Yanks in the 2017 ALCS, the year of the sign stealing scandal.
An error by Houston third baseman Alex Bregman in the sixth inning let New York blow the game open.
