NEW YORK (AP) — Alex Verdugo homered and tied a career high with four RBIs, powering the New York Yankees past Justin Verlander and the skidding Houston Astros 10-3 on Tuesday night. Anthony Volpe and Giancarlo Stanton also went deep off Verlander as the Yankees won their fourth straight. They’ve totaled 20 runs in the last three games after scoring just eight in a five-game span that ended Saturday. Volpe finished with three RBIs and Juan Soto had three hits. “Obviously, you’re not going to run out offensive nights like this every night, especially against a guy like Justin,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “But they are capable of that. They’ve got balance.” Verdugo, batting cleanup between Aaron Judge and Stanton, accounted for New York’s first four runs with a three-run homer in the first and an RBI single in the third against Verlander (1-1). |
