If anything signifies the end of the Glory Days, it is the sight of the once invincible Justin Verlander pitching against the team he beat in his most dominant and noteworthy victory and getting knocked around like he was pitching in the home run derby.
Verlander gave up three home runs and seven earned runs on eight hits, three walks, and only two strikeouts.
Meanwhile, the Astros remained utterly anemic offensively, the only run for eight innings a solo homer by Kyle Tucker. Indeed, it was the only hit the lineup could muster against Yankees starter Luis Gil in six innings.
