Astros Score Four in Eighth to Beat Yankees 8–7 as Álvarez Collects Four Hits

The collapse intensified scrutiny of the Yankees’ late-inning plan.

Overview

  • Houston took the lead when Taylor Trammell drew a bases-loaded walk during a four-run eighth inning that decided an 8-7 game.
  • Devin Williams and manager Aaron Boone were ejected for arguing balls and strikes with home plate umpire Brian Walsh.
  • Camilo Doval entered after Williams, allowed an RBI single to Jeremy Peña, then committed a balk and uncorked a wild pitch that brought in two more runs.
  • Yordan Álvarez went 4-for-5 with four hard-hit balls and delivered the game-tying RBI single in the seventh.
  • Cody Bellinger’s two-out, three-run homer in the ninth cut the deficit to one before Bryan Abreu finished the save, and the series moves to a Thursday finale with Carlos Rodón facing Cristian Javier as Houston holds a four-game AL West lead.
