The Astros stopped the Yankees' 15-game home winning streak Friday.
— Justin Verlander was amped up, throwing nine of his 20 fastest pitches this season.Looking as strong as ever in his return season from Tommy John surgery, Verlander pitched four-hit ball over seven innings against the major league-leading. Kyle Tucker hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning, powering the Houston Astros' 3-1 victory Friday night that stopped New York's 15-game home winning streak.
"That's why he's going to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer," Yankees slugger Aaron Judge said after going 0 for 3 against Verlander."He continues to bring it every single start.""I thought the fastball was really good," he said."I thought the slider was kind of hit and miss, and the curveball got me some big outs when I needed it."
Phil Maton pitched out of trouble in the eighth, striking out Judge on a curveball with one on, and Stanton and Josh Donaldson, both on sliders, to strand two runners.
