Arrighetti allows 1 run in 7 innings, Walker has 4 RBIs; Astros beat Yankees 7-4
HOUSTON (AP) --- Spencer Arrighetti allowed one run over seven innings, and
Christian Walker homered and drove home a season-high four runs, and the
Houston Astros beat New York 7-4 on Sunday to snap the Yankees' eight-game
winning streak.
Arrighetti (3-0) struck out eight while allowing three hits and one walk. He is
the first Astros starter to pitch seven innings since Lance McCullers Jr. on
March 30.
Aaron Judge, celebrating his 34th birthday, supplied the only blemish on
Arrighetti's line when he hit a solo homer in the sixth. Judge's three birthday
homers tied Yogi Berra and Graig Nettles for second-most among Yankees,
trailing only Lou Gehrig's four.
Walker gave the Astros a 2-0 lead when he sent a 3-2 changeup from Luis Gil 432
feet over the wall in left-center field for his seventh homer of the season and
second in as many days.
Isaac Paredes added a two-run homer in the third inning, and after Paredes
singled home Carlos Correa in the fifth, Walker hit a two-run double to give
Houston a 7-0 lead.
Walker was 3 for 4, while Paredes and Yordan Alvarez had two hits apiece.
Gil (1-2) pitched into the fifth and was charged with six runs on five hits for
the Yankees.
Paul Goldschmidt and Jazz Chisholm Jr. had two hits for New York.
After the game, the Yankees optioned Gil to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Up next The Astros open a three-game series Tuesday at Baltimore. The Astros have not announced a starter, while RHP Shane Baz (0-2, 5.08 ERA) starts for the Orioles. LHP Max Fried (3-1, 2.40 ERA) starts Monday for New York against Jack Leiter (1-1, 4.97) in the opener of a three-game series at Texas. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb |
