Astros vs. Yankees Game Recap (9_3_25)

Greetings from Dykin Park, where today the Houston Astros play game two of a three-game series against the New York Yankees. Astros are 76-63 and first place in the AOS three games ahead of Seattle. Jason Alexander, he's been outstanding since coming over to the Astros. That's right. He's jumping out of the gate pretty well, and the Astros need an early start against this Yankees team who's been banging lately. Swing and a pass! Got him on the change-up down and in. And Jason Alexander starts off his night with a punch-out. Six strikeouts for Alexander. Jason Alexander navigates his way through five innings. Yankees with a 4-1 lead over the Astros, bottom of the sixth. First pitch to Pena. And he hammers it deep to left, and you can't miss it! The leader signs! And it's 4-2, New York. Pena goes deep for the 15th time this year. That's what they needed, a little spark right there from Jeremy Pena. Hits it the other way. That's a base hit. They're going to send Melton. And he's saved! We're tied! There's a line drive. That's a base hit down the right field line. Correa heading to second. Base is loaded. Walks. And the Astros take their first lead, 5-4. Pena with a home run in the sixth inning. He's one for three tonight. He bats with the base loaded. Pena with a line drive, base hit. One run's going to score. It's now a two-run lead. JP3 makes it 6-4. The boys are fired up, and they love to see it. Brian Abreu into this game to close this one out. Oh, third strike! And the Astros get a much-needed win, and they are now four games ahead of the Mariners, with 22 games to go on the season.
