NEW YORK (AP) — Houston’s Cristian Javier held the New York Yankees hitless through seven innings Saturday before handing a 2-0 lead over to the Astros bullpen. Javier struck out a career-high 13 and walked one, throwing 71 of 115 pitches for strikes. His previous high was 107 pitches against Seattle on April 27 last year. He was replaced by Héctor Neris to start the eighth inning. Javier walked Josh Donaldson on a full-count fastball with two outs in the first, then retired his next 17 batters before Donaldson reached when third baseman Alex Bregman threw past first for an error on his grounder with one out in the seventh.
