NEW YORK (AP) — Carlos Correa hit a tiebreaking single through a drawn-in infield off struggling reliever Devin Williams in the 10th inning, and the Houston Astros outlasted the New York Yankees 5-3 on Friday night.

Taylor Trammell added a two-run homer off Williams to make it 5-2.

New York lost for the sixth time in seven games and dropped to 3-8 in extra innings.

Automatic runner Jose Altuve went to third when Williams threw his first pitch to the backstop. After the Yankees pulled their infield in, Correa lined a changeup to center field.

Williams (3-5) got two outs before Trammell drove an 0-1 changeup into the right-field seats. Williams has allowed four homers in his last eight appearances.

Correa’s hit helped the AL West leaders win for the third time in four games and 10th time in 26 games.

Altuve hit a two-run homer three batters in off rookie Cam Schlittler to give the Astros a 2-0 lead.

The 37-year-old Kershaw (6-2) allowed one run and seven hits, striking out four. The 41-year-old Scherzer (2-2) gave up two runs and six hits. He struck out five and walked three.
