Follow live: Yankees strike first, score off Keuchel
After tying the ALCS with two comeback wins, New York has given Masahiro Tanaka an early lead in Game 5, scoring in the second inning on Greg Bird's single.
MLB
In his third career postseason start against the Yankees, Dallas Keuchel has finally blinked. He allowed a pair of two-out hits -- a double to Starlin Castro and an RBI single to Greg Bird -- in the second inning. Keuchel hadn't given up a run in 14 previous innings against the Yankees in the postseason -- six scoreless innings in the 2015 wild-card game and seven shutout frames in Game 1 of this ALCS.
