New York Sends Houston Packing with 10-2 Loss
The 10-2 New York win over Houston was due in large part to Li-Jen Chu. The Yankees first baseman was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Shawn Harris was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 2 of 4 save opportunities. With the win, New York has a record of 29-31. Houston falls to 24-35.

With New York leading 1-0 in the top of the third, Chu hit a curveball from Mike Cunningham for a 2-run home run. It was his 6th home run of the season and put the Yankees ahead, 3-0.

Houston manager Mike Napoli said his team was "out of sync."
