The Kahnle Man Can

Tommy Kahnle retires the Astros in order in the eighth to preserve the Yankees 5-0 lead. He’s now pitched nine innings in the post-season, allowing one hit.

Update: The Yankees do not score in the eighth. They are three outs away from taking a 3-2 ALCS lead into Houston.

Update: Kahnle comes out to pitch the ninth.

Update: Carlos Correa hits a one out double, the second hit allowed by Kahnle this post season.

Update: A ground out and a line out end the game, and the Yankees win 5-0. The Yankees held the Astros to four hits and one walk. The Yankees just need a split in Houston advance to the World Series, but a road team has not won a game in this series.

    I’m not seeing Kahnle credited with a save, wouldn’t he get one for getting six outs with only a five run lead?
