Started my Franchise on Sunday with Houston. I finally got through the first series, taking 2 of 3 from the Yankees.

NYY 4-12-1 F/14
HOU 5-8-1

NYY 3-8-0 F/11
HOU 6-8-0

NYY 6-10-0
HOU 5-7-1

In the series, Yankee batters hit .236 with 4 doubles and 6 homers. Astro hitters hit just .195 with 5 doubles, a triple and 3 long balls. The Yankees' pitching staff struck out 35 and walked 16, the Astros' staff K'd 26 and walked 7. There was one wild pitch in the series (Houston in game 3) and no passed balls.

In game 2, the Yankees took a 3-2 lead in the 11th but, after tying the game, Houston won on a walk off, pinch hit, 3-run homer by Jesus Guzman.

A-Rod hit a 2-run homer in the top of the 8th of game 3 to help New York avoid a sweep.

I still have a little slider work and testing to do but I'm having alot of fun with this game.
