On a chilly night at the Stadium, which wasn’t sold out, the Yankees wasted an early three-run lead, saw Nestor Cortes leave in the third inning with a groin injury and had Gleyber Torres make a key error in the seventh that led to a pair of runs, as the Astros took the lead for good on Alex Bregman’s one-out, run-scoring single off Clay Holmes.
