Not even Aaron Judge can save the Yankees lately.
After the slugger tied the sport within the sixth inning, when the Yankees lineup had its one moment of life on Friday, Judge got here up again in the underside of the ninth with the rating tied.
This time, though, he popped out to shortstop against Houston closer Josh Hader before Devin Williams’ predictable implosion within the tenth led to a different loss, this one 5-3 to Houston.
The Yankees have lost two of three games since Judge returned from missing 10 games with a right elbow flexor strain.
His presence has not gotten the Yankee going, as he entered the sport with one hit in six at-bats and the team has not scored greater than three runs in any of his three games.
Judge got here up in the underside of the primary with Ben Rice at second after a one-out double — the one base runner the Yankees had against Houston right-hander Hunter Brown until the sixth — and grounded out to short, because the Yankees didn’t rating within the inning.
He flied out to left to finish the underside of the fourth before delivering a run-scoring hit within the sixth.
It got here after the Yankees finally got going against Brown, who allowed 4 of the five batters he faced that inning to succeed in base.
Ryan McMahon walked, Austin Wells doubled down the primary bottom line to send McMahon to 3rd before Trent Grisham popped out to shallow left.
Rice then got here through with an RBI single to right to get the Yankees inside a run and Judge followed with a base hit to center that drove in Wells to tie the sport at 2-2.
But as has so often been the case with the Yankees these days, they were unable to complete the job within the inning.
With runners on the corners and one out, Brown was removed for Bennett Sousa and the lefty got Cody Bellinger swinging and Jazz Chisholm Jr. to fly out to right to maintain the sport tied.
It stayed that way until the tenth, when Williams gave up three runs in the highest of the inning and the Yankees only rallied for one in the underside of the inning to fall for the sixth time in seven games.
