Yankees torch Justin Verlander, cruise to fifth straight win against struggling Astros
NY Post
Remember when the Astros used to dominate the Yankees?
Those days sure seem to be over.
And Alex Verdugo is a big reason why.
After the Yankees opened the season with a four-game sweep in Houston, they slammed the Astros for a fifth straight time this year — and eighth straight dating back to last September — on Tuesday with a 10-3 win in The Bronx.
They’ve won four in a row for a third time this season, as well as five of their last six, to move back into a first-place tie with Baltimore in the division.
This victory was sparked by a pair of relative newcomers to the rivalry, with Verdugo taking Justin Verlander deep for a three-run homer in the bottom of the first.
Just to get the formalities out of the way, Juan Soto officially declined the qualifying offer by Tuesday’s deadline.
