Alex Verdugo homered and tied a career high with four RBIs, powering the New York Yankees past Justin Verlander and the skidding Houston Astros 10-3 on Tuesday night. Anthony Volpe and Giancarlo Stanton also went deep off Verlander as the Yankees won their fourth straight game.
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Pepiot is expected to go the injured list on Wednesday, three days after departing his start Sunday after getting hit on his left calf by a 107.5 mph line drive by the New York Mets' Starling Marte. “We’ll have probably more of an announcement tomorrow, but (it's) likely,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said after Tuesday night's 5-1 win over the Chicago White Sox. Before the game, Cash said Pepiot was going to get an additional CT scan after arriving at the ballpark “a little sorer than we anticipated.”
