New York Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka went six innings, striking out three and giving up two runs in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Houston Astros.
Tanaka pitched well, but he and the Yankees were out-pitched by Houston's Dallas Keuchel. The Yankees' right-hander gave up four singles, three of which came in a two-run fourth inning. He also walked one, but it was a very good day overall for Tanaka. He would likely start a potential Game 4 for New York.
In 3 postseason starts, Tanaka is 1-2 but with 2 quality starts and a 2.00 ERA. This year alone, he's 1-1 with 10 strikeouts to 7 hits and 2 earned runs.
