If the New York Yankees Faithful didn't know who the 2K15 Houston Astros were they know now. The new 'Stros Show takes the "Rubber Game" 6-2 and outscored the Bronx Bombers 21-4 in doing so.

Tonight it was all about 'Stros DH Evan Gattis at the dish and starter Collin McHugh on the hill as they dominated the Bombers on this night. Gattis took Yankees Pitching deep x 2 both solo Blasts as the first one he hit was in the 2nd starting off the scoring. Houston's wild four-run 4th frame was capped off by two RBI singles and a Wild Pitch making it 5-0 Harris County Texas Hardball.

New York starter Michael Pineda (L, 9-8) went into the 5th and charged with all five runs on six hits as he gave up that one bomb to Gattis. McHugh (moving to 14-7) went 6 1/3 frames giving up that two-run HR to Yanks SS Didi Gregorius in the 6th making it 5-2 'Stros.    

Gattis then came back in the 8th taking Yanks reliever Adam Warren deep for his 2nd of the night as the 'Stros move to 71-57. The Yanks fall to 69-57 as they are still right there in the Blue Birds Neighborhood for the AL East lead...
