The Yankees were trying to become the first road team in over a decade to win Game 7 of a league championship series on the road. 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. Three innings later, with the Astros leading by 1-0, Houston third baseman Alex Bregman also stole a run. 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.
