| Yankees Lose, 8-4, at Minute Maid Park | The Houston Astros defeated the New York Yankees, 8-4. Earning player of the game honors was catcher Buster Posey, who went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The win was Jose Urena's in relief. His record improves to 1-1. Martin Perez took the loss for New York. The defending champion Astros have struggled a bit to find their groove this season, but improve to 16-15 with the win.
A crucial at-bat came with runners on 1st and 3rd and one out in the bottom of the fifth inning. That's when shortstop Xander Bogaerts, who is on pace for 214 hits this season, drew a walk. The Astros went on to win.
"I just try to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Bogaerts.
