Alex Verdugo homered and tied a career high with four RBIs, powering the New York Yankees past Justin Verlander and the skidding Houston Astros 10-3 on Tuesday night. Anthony Volpe and Giancarlo Stanton also went deep off Verlander as the Yankees won their fourth straight game.
The four-RBI game was the second of the season for Verdugo and the fifth of his career. Volpe hit a two-run homer in the fourth. Stanton led off the fifth with a 421-foot drive to left field that was clocked at 118.8 mph off the bat.
Luis Gil (3-1) allowed just one hit Kyle Tucker's first-inning homer and walked four with five strikeouts over six innings. Trey Cabbage had a two-run single in the ninth for the Astros.
