Astros 8-7 Yankees (Sep 3, 2025) Game Recap

The Houston Astros rallied to an 8-7 victory over the New York Yankees on Wednesday night, with a crucial four-run eighth inning turning the game in their favor. Taylor Trammell drew a bases-loaded walk to score the go-ahead run during this inning.

In the eighth, Yankees pitcher Devin Williams walked the bases loaded with one out, struck out Ramón Urías, but then walked Trammell on five pitches, allowing Carlos Correa to score. Jeremy Peña followed with an RBI single off Camilo Doval, who was then called for a balk, scoring Christian Walker, and a subsequent wild pitch allowed Trammell to score.

During the eighth inning, Williams and Yankees manager Aaron Boone were ejected by plate umpire Brian Walsh for arguing balls and strikes. This loss dropped the Yankees 3.5 games behind first-place Toronto in the AL East, while the Astros extended their lead in the AL West to four games over Seattle.

Earlier in the game, the Astros trailed 4-1. In the sixth inning, Peña homered to lead off, and Jose Altuve hit an RBI groundout later in the inning. Yordan Alvarez, who had four hits, tied the game at 4 with an RBI single in the seventh.

In the ninth inning, Cody Bellinger hit a three-run homer for the Yankees off Bryan Abreu with two outs, narrowing the deficit, but Abreu struck out Jazz Chisholm Jr. looking to end the game and secure the win for Houston.

Additional highlights include Giancarlo Stanton hitting his 18th home run of the season in the second inning, ending an 0-for-14 slump, and Austin Wells adding a two-run homer in the fourth. Bryan King pitched a scoreless eighth for the win. Key moments and stats include Abreu's strikeout of Chisholm in the ninth, the snapping of the Yankees' eight-game winning streak at Daikin Park, and Wells' 335-foot home run to left field, which would not have been out in other MLB ballparks.
