Donaldson, New York Yankees face elimination Sunday in ALCS

The Astros shut out the Yankees on Saturday, forcing a must-win situation for the Yankees on Sunday afternoon.

Following another disappointing performance in the American League Championship Series, the New York Yankees need to earn a win on Sunday in order to stay alive in their quest for a World Series crown.

Houston’s Chas McCormick hit a two-run blast in the 3rd inning on Saturday’s Game Three, while Trey Mancini and Christian Vasquez combined to plate three runs in the 6th inning to lift the Astros to a 5-0 win over the Yankees at Yankee Stadium to take a 3-0 lead in the American League Championship Series.

Auburn’s tie to the American League Championship Series, third baseman [autotag]Josh Donaldson[/autotag], went 0-for-3 in the game, striking out twice. Including Saturday’s game, Donaldson has struck out 13 times over a span of six postseason games, while only recording three hits. This postseason, Donaldson is batting .200 with one double and seven RBI.

Game four between the Yankees and Astros is set for a 3:07 p.m. CT start time live from Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. The game can be seen live on TBS.
