The Houston Astros took a 3-1 lead over the New York Yankees on a George Springer three-run blast on Thursday night, and didn't look back from there. In the top of the sixth inning, with two runners on base, Astros shortstop Carlos Correa hit a line drive three-run homer to left field off Chad Green to extend Houston's lead to 6-1 and silence Yankee Stadium.

That may very well prove to be the dagger for the New York Yankees in Game 4, as Correa's shot made it a five-run deficit.

The Yankee lineup is certainly capable of putting up runs in a hurry, but they've struggled mightily throughout the night, particularly with runners in scoring position.
