American League Wildcard: Astros Shut Out Yankees

The first game of the MLB Postseason on Tuesday night included teams that hadn't been to the playoffs in a long time.  The Astros haven't gone since their 2005 run to the World Series.  The Yankees hadn't gone since 2012.  The game was set in the Bronx before a sold-out crowd.

In the second inning, Colby Rasums started to quiet the Yankee Stadium crowd with a home run off of Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka  In the fourth, Carlos Gomez hit another homer.  Jose Altuve capped off the scoring in the seventh inning on a line-drive single and the Astros held off the Yankees 3-0.

Houston starter Dallas Keuchel pitched a gem with seven strikeouts to quiet the Bronx Bombers.  Tanaka was still able to get out of some jams despite giving up a few runs but it was the Yankee bats that couldn't get it done.  The Astros will now face the Kansas City Royals in the ALDS while the Yankees go home on another disappointing postseason performance.
