Yankees Turn Away Astros, 2-1
In a low-scoring affair between the New York Yankees and the Houston Astros, pitcher Shane Bieber was the difference between victory and defeat. The New York right-hander earned accolades in the 2-1 Yankees win. In 6 innings, Bieber surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 9 and walking 0. He allowed 1 run. Josh Hader was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 32 of 38 save opportunities.

The Yankees got a big at-bat from first baseman Paul Goldschmidt. For the game, Goldschmidt was 1 for 3 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the fourth, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 31st home run of the season gave New York a 2-1 lead.

"This was a tough loss," said Houston manager Craig Puckett. "It'll stick in my craw for a while."

With the victory, the Yankees upped their record to 83-75.
