Edwin Encarnacion leads off the eighth with a slow grounder to third. He is called safe as the throw pulls Yuli Gurriel off the bag. The replay shows Gurriel applying the tag, however, and the call is reversed. This upset the crowd, some of whom threw items on the field. Gleyber Torres, however, quiets them the way the Mighty Casey could not, with a home run. The Yankees cut the Astros lead to three runs, 4-1, and chase reliever Joe Smith.
