Yankees Get Road Win, 10-5
The Houston Astros got a superb performance from center fielder Gregory Polanco, but the New York Yankees still won the game, 10-5. Polanco was named the player of the game despite the loss. He went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The loss drops Houston to 16-16.

Billy McKinney drove in 2 runs for New York. The 23-year old right fielder had a key at-bat in the top of the second. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Odrisamer Despaigne. It was his 9th RBI of the season.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," McKinney told the New York Times.
