Justin Verlander struck out 11 in six strong innings and Yuli Gurriel, Chas McCormick and Jeremy Peña all homered to power the Houston Astros past the Yankees in their AL Championship Series opener Wednesday night.
"They're obviously really dynamic," Boone said."Outstanding starting pitching, but can shorten the game with the best of 'em. So we've got to find a way to break through against them."
They had runners at second and third with one out in the third after a double by Stanton, but Verlander struck out Donaldson and Carpenter to escape the jam. Peña doubled twice before his homer to give him seven hits this postseason. His three extra-base hits equaled a rookie record for a postseason game.
He stepped a couple of feet in front of the rubber before throwing a perfect strike to Houston starter Lance McCullers.
