Astros edge Yankees 2-1

Astros

Charlie Morton took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and the Astros held off the Yankees 2-1 in the first of a four-game series at Minute  Maid Park.  Morton struck out 10 while allowing just two hits and one  run over seven-and-two-thirds innings to move to 4-and-0.  Ken Giles  struck out the side in the ninth to notch his third save.  Yuli Gurriel's RBI double in the fourth made it 2-0 Astros and wound up being the difference.  Brett Gardner singled in New York's  run in the eighth.  Sonny Gray took the loss.  The Yankees had won  their previous nine games.
