The Houston Astros defeated the New York Yankees 8-5 in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series on Tuesday night, thanks in large part to a strong performance from starting pitcher Cristian Javier. Javier allowed just two runs on four hits over six innings of work, while striking out seven batters. The Astros offense also had a big night, led by Kyle Tucker, who hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the first inning. The Astros now lead the series 2-1.
The Astros' victory was a much-needed one, as they had lost the first two games of the series in New York. Javier's performance was particularly impressive, as he was able to slow down the Yankees' powerful offense. The Astros' bullpen also pitched well, with Ryan Pressly earning his fourth save of the postseason.
The Astros will look to continue their momentum when they host the Yankees in Game 4 on Wednesday night. If they can win, they will be one win away from advancing to the World Series.
