Marwin Gonzalez tried to pull a fast one on his former team, but Astros catcher Korey Lee wasn’t falling for it.
With Gonzalez at the plate with a runner on in the top of the second inning, a pitch by Cristian Javier was spiked into the ground and bounced off of Lee and into foul ground on the third base side. But Gonzalez pointed over behind the first base line as the runner advanced to second, and could have potentially advanced to third had Lee not ignored Gonzalez’s fakeout and wisely headed for the third base side of the infield.
The Yanks couldn’t score in the inning, once again struggling to generate much offense against Javier, despite throwing in some impromptu trickery.
