The Yankees’ meager offense on Saturday continued a theme that ran through all four of their losses at Minute Maid Park in this series. They scored one run in Game 1, another in Game 2 and then one more in Game 6 on Friday night. Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge jumped at the wall to take a solo homer away from Yuli Gurriel in the second inning — the second home run Judge pilfered in the postseason. A less precise throw would not have gotten Bird, who was thrown out at the plate for the second time in this series. It the second consecutive game that McCann, who was traded by the Yankees to the Astros for a pair of low-level prospects last winter, had delivered a critical run-scoring double.
