Good morning, Sports fan! It’s Davey Mac here and we’ve got plenty of Sports action in today’s Report for ya! Baseball! Basketball! Football! Hockey! It’s pandemonium!
But before we get to the scores…the Yankees once again are in serious trouble in series with the Houston Astros. It’s the American League Championship Series and the Yanks trail two games to none after last night’s loss.
With the Yanks trailing 3 to 2 in the 8th inning and a runner on first…Aaron Judge stepped to the plate and hit a ball that would have been out in right field at Yankee Stadium…unfortunately it didn’t find the stands in Houston.

Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker raced back to catch the ball against the wall…and it left Yankee fans with that empty feeling in our stomachs. When it comes to Houston…the Yanks just can’t get a break.

Still…all hope is not lost. I point back to 1996 when the Yankees were trailing the Atlanta Braves by two games to none in the World Series and came back to win four games in a row and their first championship in seasons. So have faith, Yankee fans! We’ve got three games in the Bronx…we’ve gotta win them all! Let’s go! I’m Davey Mac! That’s my two cents!

Yanks Lose Game 2 Of ALCS To Astros
The Yankees lost to the Astros last night in Game 2 of the ALCS last night…3 to 2. Another frustrating loss as Luis Severino looked good out there but made one bad pitch to the Astros’ Alex Bregman who slugged a three-run home run for Houston in the 3rd inning. The Yankees just couldn’t get that third run across the board. So the Yanks now trail the Astros two games to none in the series…with Game 3 on Saturday at Yankee Stadium.
