The Astros improved to 3-0 this Spring with a 3-0 win over the New York Yankees on Monday behind another strong pitching performance and a 3-run homer off the bat of shortstop Carlos Correa.

Newly-acquired pitcher Scott Kazmir got his first start with Houston and pitched 5 scoreless innings for the win. Kazmir surrendered just 3 hits, struck out 6 and walked one. Darin Downs pitched a perfect 9th for the save.

Through 3 games, Houston pitchers have allowed just 2 earned runs. Those came back in the opener against Philadelphia when reliever Jason Motte gave up a 2-run home run.

NYY 0-6-0
HOU 3-6-0
