Yankees vs. Astros Game Highlights (9_2_25) _ MLB Highlights

It is New York Yankees baseball and here we go everybody buckle up because in a row Houston Toronto Detroit and Boston you might have your season right here They could really make a statement here starting with three in Houston David. This is the varsity portion of the schedule It's the varsity portion of the schedule and a great pitching matchup tonight Two of the very best left-handers in all of Major League Baseball gonna square off tonight It's gonna start with the Yankees against this guy from Bravado's Yankees are the best team in OPS against left-hand pitching in the major leagues at 792 and their top three hitters have a lot to do with that one pitch two hops and Pena throws out Paul Goldschmidt This game starts out with a ground ball to short on the first pitch the game He goes down on strikes here from her out to a quick start Getting a ground out on one pitch an hour strikeout on four pitches and that's gonna bring up Aaron judge He's tied with Yogi Berra 358 home runs that's fifth place all-time on the Yankee list and he's three away from Joe DiMaggio No home run there, but a bullet single in the left center field cutting overs Dubon And he holds judge to a two-out single judge pretty much owns the top spot in every offensive category in the major leagues Here's Giancarlo Stan another guy with success recently against Bravo Christian Walker Backs up a few steps, and we'll put it away Robert gives up a two-out single to Aaron judge and works through the first without a score And here's Max free to be his 28th start on the year rounding out really good numbers across the board only 13 Home runs given up so 3-0 And he walked him on four pitches Yeah, it's been an interesting strike zone so far even even pain you thought it was a strike Here's Carlos Correa right-handed hitting third baseman. This could be two Booted, but they get the force at second took a hop got bulky in the chest But he got it over to Chisholm for one out That was tailor-made for two that's gonna bring up Altuve and you really have to watch Altuve with the first pitch Including the postseason in his career against the Yankees Altuve on the first pitch of the at-bat hitting 372 six homers and slugging at 654 and they've tried everything fastballs breaking balls. He is a first pitch swinger Like that shallow left going way out. There is Volpe. He makes the play For the part the second out Swinging a miss a little angry in that fastball. I've seen Max do that before and I don't blame him Nothing across here for the Astros. We've got an inning number two No score top of the second coming up battle of left handers Valdez against Fried It's nothing nothing and Trent Grisham will start it off and another base hit for Grisham Smith will get it in a leadoff single for Trent one out and one on for jazz Chisholm jr Refused home runs per night coming into this game amongst active pitchers and a minimum of a thousand innings pitch in their career Logan Webb turbo sinker in San Francisco is a point six four from was just behind him at a point six nine High drive right field going back at Smith turning looking See a two run home run for jazz and the Yankees are up to nothing Only the second home run from Burr Valdez has allowed to a left-handed hitter this year Benny Pasquantino took him deep in Kansas City in April So the Yankees strike first in this series opener, you got to wonder what's going on with free now He's never this wild and he just hits the number nine batter two balls to the backstop ball for was way high as well So stark contrast to the second inning eight pitches and a bond right back to free. He's going to go to third They get the force. He's a gold glove winner and he had no hesitation whatsoever Firing to Caballero for out number one And this is something on this homestand that the Astros have really struggled with Getting big hits with runners and scorers and they have not been able to do it Correa reaches on the fielder's choice There's two away for Altuve ground ball ball beat He'll go to second and that'll do it. So freed works into and out of trouble Astro strand to here's Caballero Double in the second and that one hits Caballero Are they saying that Caballero swung? I believe they are so it wouldn't matter if he got hit by a pitch if he went around He did go around and now he gets thrown out of the game. And here comes Aaron Boone. That was a really quick toss I don't know what Caballero said But de Jesus threw him out Caballero got thrown out of a game earlier and his Stint with the Yankees and it was a bad situation because the Yankees are short on the bench Now here in the fourth inning he gets thrown out Well, either he said the magic word or that's a quick hook and only two people know and now Boone has to go to his Bench, does he go? With McMahon a better fielder or does he go with the Rosario a right-handed hitter? So they'll go to Ryan McMahon and he'll take over the 0-1 count And that's the right move with Max freed on the mound and a two-run lead you need The glove and the lineup on the left side of the infield Ground ball one hop Christian Walker's there He will take it to the bag ahead of McMahon for the final out of the inning Well between innings Aaron Boone walked out to the second base umpire Adrian Johnson Who's the crew chief and he wanted to talk about his player getting thrown out? and then he doubles back and goes to Adrian or Ramon de Jesus and Pretty much tells him that was not cool what you did again We don't know exactly what was said, but it seemed to be a very very fast hook and there we go Couldn't draw it up any better one away Ground ball McMahon and they get Diaz another ground ball to the left side It's almost similar to when Andy Pettitte pitched Scott brochures at third base He knew that he was gonna get a lot of action and a bit swing and a miss top of the zone got him Just overpowered him next read a second strikeout couple of ground balls. It's his kind of game It's two nothing Yankees. We go to the fifth here in Houston big spot in this game top of the fifth inning two Nothing Yankees with the bases loaded at one out and Giancarlo Stanton the batter Remember allowing seven hits tonight to New York he gave up eight hits and his start in the Bronx over five and two thirds Call third strike stand down for the second out big out for Frobber Valdez And that's a huge strikeout the Astros need one more so the base is still loaded for Trent Grisham Who's one for two with a single and a run scored Grisham ten home runs in the month of August high fly ball? How to lay back on the track looking up see ya a grand slam for Grisham His magical season continues. It's six nothing Yanks Just a back-breaking swing if you're from Ravaldez on the mound two outs bases loaded strikeout Stanton You got Grisham Grisham finds the Crawford boxes. This is a great stat Grisham with bases loaded this year. He's four for seven with three grand slams in 16 ribbies That's a career So here's Christian Walker Astros fourth at bat of the night with a runner in scoring position they went over three back in the third inning Off the end of the bat falling quickly, and that's gonna be down for a hit Correa had to hold up So he'll be held at third Christian Walker drops went into shallow center and the Astros have runners on the corner Groundball chop towards third Shouldn't be an opportunity to turn to Yiner's gonna beat the relay throw the Astros get their first run It'll be a fielder's choice RBI for Yiner Diaz is now a six to one game It's popped up the right field easy play for Bellinger And he makes a catch that'll do it Reed has been pitching very well last two starts Outstanding. Well, I think he's been exceptionally sharp with his secondary pitches now the fastball sets it up But his sweeper change up and curveball have all been exceptional. He's thrown about 80% strikes That'll be an infield hit for Mauricio Duvall under the Astros have the first two runners on here in the seventh Trying to force freed out of this game and get to the Yankees bullpen a couple of good at bats Aaron Boone out of the dugout. Well, that looks like that'll do it for Max Fried hasn't signaled yet No, he's letting him stay in. He is letting him stay in if your guy says I want to pitch, you know, I got him Didn't get that double play ball nobody out first and second bunch shown by Terrible bunt to start it was airborne. He comes off the mat catches it thought he had a play at second He had to play at first they double up the runner at the backside So just like that runner at second now two outs round ball to Volpe Charges that steps into the throw got him that was well done tip of the cap Out of boys all around for Max Fried a fabulous seven innings two outs nobody on and here's Chisholm Who's two for three a home run and a single driven deep to right field if it's fair. It's gone. It's fair. It's gone Another home run for jazz Chisholm and the Yankees are up 7-1 That's gonna bring up young Kim Smith Right back to Blackburn that's gonna be a game-ending double play The Yankee pitchers certainly fielded their position tonight and the Yankees win the first game of this three game set 7-1
