Carlos Correa, who the Astros reunited with at the MLB trade deadline, issued a warning on Altuve.

If he's gonna get beat, he's gonna get beat with his best pitch, and that's the changeup." The Yankees continue to look for ways to slow Altuve.

Yankees' Devin Williams' brutal 7-word reflection after latest disaster vs. Astros
The post Yankees' Devin Williams' brutal 7-word reflection after latest disaster vs. Astros appeared first on ClutchPoints. Devin Williams endured another rough outing on Friday night, giving up a go-ahead single to Carlos Correa in the 10th inning and a two-run homer to Taylor Trammell in the New York Yankees' 5-3 loss to the Houston Astros. After the game, Williams didn't hold back, admitting, 'I'm not making pitches. It's pretty simple. I stink right now,' he said. The Yankees tied the game 2-2 in the sixth inning. In the 10th, the automatic runner advanced to third on a wild pitch from Williams and was immediately driven in by Correa. Moments later, Trammell's homer extended Houston's lead to 5-2. Anthony Volpe added an RBI single in the bottom half, but it wasn't enough to avoid New York's sixth loss in its last seven games. Williams is going through one of the most challenging stretches of his career, posting a 5.73 ERA in his first season with the Yankees. Manager Aaron Boone has removed him from the closer role for the second time this year, yet he still turned to him in a tie game on Friday. Boone explained that he wanted to avoid using David Bednar, Mark Leiter Jr., and Luke Weaver due to their recent workloads, acknowledging that Williams 'is struggling' but stressing, 'You gotta use your guys.' Cam Schlittler overcame a shaky first inning, in which José Altuve hit a two-run homer, to hold Houston to those two runs over five innings despite allowing seven hits. The Yankees also got help from Cody Bellinger, who threw out Trammell at the plate in the fourth to keep the game close. Still, Houston's bullpen, led by Josh Hader's scoreless ninth inning, closed the door in extras, securing the Astros' third win in their last four games and trimming the Yankees' lead for the final American League Wild Card spot to just half a game.

Yankees take 6th loss in 7 games as Devin Williams gives up 10th-inning homer to Astros' Taylor Trammell
After adding relievers David Bednar, Camilo Doval and Jake Bird at the MLB trade deadline, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone insisted Devin Williams would remain the team's closer despite his unreliability in late-inning situations this season. Williams again showed that the Yankees likely have to consider another option to close out games, serving up a two-run home run to Taylor Trammell in the 10th inning of a 5-3 loss to the Houston Astros on Friday. Taking over for Luke Weaver in the 10th, Williams allowed a leadoff single to Carlos Correa that drove in automatic runner Jose Altuve for a 3-2 lead. In Williams' defense, Correa reached for a low changeup that he smacked into center field. But he then retired Christian Walker and Yainer Diaz. With two outs, the Yankees had a chance to escape the inning down by only one run. However, Williams then left an 82.1 mph changeup out over the plate that Trammell launched into the right-center field seats to give the Astros a 5-2 lead. No defending that one. Williams made a bad pitch. He struck out Mauricio Dubón on a 94.6 mph fastball high out of the strike zone to end the inning, but the damage was done. The Yankees got a run back on an RBI single by Anthony Volpe. Yet Josh Hader retired Paul Goldschmidt and Trent Grisham, with a Giancarlo Stanton walk in between, to finish the game and giving the Yankees their sixth loss in the past seven games. With the two earned runs allowed on Friday, Williams has now allowed 28 this season. That is more than the 26 earned runs he gave up altogether during the previous three seasons, from 2022-24. In his past five appearances, Williams has given up eight runs in 4 2/3 innings. Following the game, Boone was asked why he didn't keep Weaver in the game to pitch the 10th, as the Astros did with Hader. He said Weaver walking Jesús Sánchez on a seven-pitch at-bat to extend the ninth essentially took that away as an option. "I feel like we've gotten Weave in such a good spot now. With that righty middle lane coming there and him being at 20 pitches or whatever, we gotta use our guys," Boone said, via The Athletic's Chris Kirschner. "When you go a five-inning outing, you gotta be able to finish it off with the guys, just because somebody's struggling," he added. "I wasn't going to go once he lost Sanchez and the inning extended. It kind of took him out of play for the second inning." Amid those six losses in seven games, the Yankees have dropped to third place in the AL East, seven games behind the first-place Toronto Blue Jays and three back from the second-place Boston Red Sox. They are also now only a half-game ahead of the Cleveland Guardians and 1.5 games ahead of the Texas Rangers for the AL's third wild-card playoff berth.

Astros power past Devin Williams, Yankees in extras
August 9 - Carlos Correa snapped a tie with a leadoff single in the 10th inning and Taylor Trammell hit a two-run homer later in the inning as the Houston Astros earned a 5-3 victory over the host New York Yankees on Friday night. All the damage was done against struggling Yankees reliever Devin Williams (3-5), who opened the inning by throwing a wild pitch to the backstop to advance automatic runner Jose Altuve to third. Three pitches later, Correa lined a single to center field through New York's drawn-in infield to give the Astros a 3-2 lead. After Williams got two outs, Trammell blasted his third homer of the season when he hammered an 0-1 changeup into the right-center field seats. It was the fifth homer allowed by Williams this season and the fourth in his past eight appearances. Josh Hader (6-2) breezed through the ninth and allowed an RBI single to Anthony Volpe in the 10th. Hader put two on before ending it by retiring Trent Grisham on a fly ball to center field. The Yankees lost for the sixth time in seven games and fell to 3-8 in extra innings this season. Ben Rice had two of New York's five hits, including an RBI single in the sixth. Aaron Judge hit a tying single off Hunter Brown later in the sixth. Brown took a one-hit shutout into the sixth and allowed two runs on four hits in 5 1/3 innings. He struck out five, walked one and retired 14 straight before Ryan McMahon started the sixth with a walk. Altuve homered three batters into the contest, sending a first-pitch sweeper from New York rookie Cam Schlittler into the left field seats. Altuve reached 20 homers for the seventh time in his career since debuting in 2011. Schlittler allowed two runs and seven hits in five innings. The right-hander struck out three and walked one. Schlittler's fifth career start ended at 97 pitches after he retired Christian Walker on a fly ball to the warning track in center field to strand Altuve at third to end the fifth. --Field Level Media
