Astros Ride Verlander To Win Over Yankees

Justin Verlander took a shutout into the seventh inning as the Astros beat the Yankees 5-1 in a Memorial Day matinee in the Bronx. Verlander  struck out five over six and two thirds innings of five-hit, one-run  ball to improve to 7-and-2.  J.D. Davis clubbed a three-run homer in the  second inning for Houston, which snapped a two-game skid.  Domingo  German struck out seven over five-and-two-thirds  innings, but gave up four runs to fall to 0-and-3.  Greg Bird broke up  the shutout with a solo homer in the seventh for New York.
