The Yankees were able to get in the win column for the first time this season after they defeated the Astros 4-2.

Ivan Nova started for the Yankees and had a decent outing, although his command was off tonight. In five and two-thirds innings of work, he walked five batters and struck out only one. Just like the previous two Yankee starters, Nova struggled in the first inning when he allowed a run, but escaped further trouble thanks to a double play ball.

The Yankee offense got on the board tonight in the third inning on a Brett Gardner single, then on a Carlos Beltran sacrifice fly.

Derek Jeter collected his first RBI of the year in the fifth inning.

David Robertson came on in the ninth inning and earned his first save of the season.

The Yankees will begin a three-game set with the Blue Jays tomorrow night in Toronto.
