Justin Verlander began his second stint with the Houston Astros by pitching seven solid innings, but he gave up a go-ahead homer to Jake Bauers that sent the New York Yankees to a 3-1 victory Saturday.
NEW YORK —
In his first start for the Astros since winning Game 5 of the World Series at Philadelphia last November, the 40-year-old right-hander averaged 94 mph on his 52 four-seam fastballs. But the Mets stumbled this season and Houston reacquired Verlander for a pair of minor league prospects at Tuesday's trade deadline. New York also agreed to send $35,520,753 to the Astros as part of the deal. And if Verlander exercises his 2025 option, the Mets would send Houston another $17.5 million.
Anthony Volpe lifted a sacrifice fly in the second for the Yankees, who won for the third time in four games. Torres homered leading off the eighth against Kendall Graveman. Jose Altuve hit his 200th career homer off Cortes in the third, but that was Houston’s only hit against the left-hander. Ian Hamilton pitched two innings in relief to earn the win. Tommy Kahnle worked the seventh and Michael King struck out Altuve looking at a full-count changeup to end the eighth with a runner on. Clay Holmes got his 16th save.
