The New York Yankees are in a heated playoff race where every game in September is going to be important, which makes how Wednesday night's 8-7 loss to the Astros ended even more frustrating for the team and its fans.
Jazz Chisholm was up in the ninth inning with nobody on and two outs. He thought he had drawn a walk after a 3-2 pitch sailed well outside the strike zone but then home plate umpire Brian Walsh, who had a brutal night behind the plate, rang him up on called third strike and the Astros' home crowd celebrated in delight.
