They threatened again in the late innings, once Valdez and his jaw-dropping curveball had exited. Newly appointed Yankees leadoff man Harrison Bader reached on a walk against Houston reliever Bryan Abreu in the eighth. 20, 2022, in Houston. Next up, Aaron Judge smacked a deep fly ball to right field that was sailing toward flipping the game on its head — but it dropped into Kyle Tucker's glove right up against the wall. Bader tagged up to put the tying run in scoring position, but Abreu blew away Giancarlo Stanton to end the threat. Yankees slugger Aaron Judge just missed a two-run homer in the eighth when his drive was caught just in front of the short wall by right fielder Kyle Tucker. Josh Donaldson worked a two-out walk in the ninth, but Astros closer Ryan Pressly struck out Matt Carpenter to end it. Then came a nightmare of a play for Valdez where he made both a fielding and a throwing error. Valdez, who set an MLB record with 25 straight quality starts in a breakout season, pitched almost flawlessly. A night after Justin Verlander fanned 11 in a 4-2 win in Game 1 of the best-of-seven series, Valdez turned in another solid pitching performance and Bregman's third-inning homer was all the offense Houston needed. He threw 40 curveballs, and the Yankees whiffed on 67% of their swings at the plummeting breaker. His one mistake — which led to both Yankees runs — was as a fielder. Valdez allowed just four hits, walked none and struck out nine. Fielding a dribbler near the mound, he fumbled the ball attempting to turn two, and wound up flailing and throwing it away to first. Yankees starter Luis Severino was nearly as good. But he quickly moved past the gaffe and shut down the powerful Yankees lineup the rest of the way. Anthony Rizzo followed with a groundout that scored Judge to make it 3-1. He struck out six over 5 1/3 innings, but Astros star Alex Bregman popped the three-run homer into the Crawford Boxes in the third. When Boosie starts playing, you best not miss. Featuring a mix of pitches, Valdez got 25 swings and misses. .
