The Yankees finally appeared to be playing like the team they were expected to be, steeling themselves for what promises to be an uphill push in the second half. Yet their ninth-inning collapse on Sunday at Minute Maid Park showcased just how difficult the grind back into postseason contention will be.
In a game that featured several Yankees wearing jackets, a reference to Aaron Judge’s troll-job this weekend in which he claimed the stadium was “chilly,” Jose Altuve got the last laugh. The Astros infielder launched a walk-off, three-run homer to cap a six-run ninth inning, handing New York a stunning 8-7 defeat.

HOUSTON Let bygones, be bygones? Not for Aaron Judge.
The All-Star outfielder hit his 21st home run of the season against Zack Greinke Saturday night, which was the only run scored by the New York Yankees in their 1-0 win over the Houston Astros in what was a masterful nine-inning shutout by Gerrit Cole.
As Judge rounded third base, he seemed to take a shot at 2017 American League MVP Jose Altuve. Judge briefly held his jersey and seemed to imitate Altuve gesturing to his teammates to not rip off his shirt after his pennant-winning, walk-off homer in the 2019 American League Championship Series.

Was Aaron Judge “too shy” rounding the bases after Saturday’s moonshot homer in the Yankees’ 1-0 victory over the Astros?
Judge pinched the front of his jersey during his third-inning home run trot, an unmistakable reference to Jose Altuve’s frantic coverup after his pennant-winning home run in the 2019 American League Championship Series against the Yankees.
