Arrighetti allows 1 run in 7 innings, Walker has 4 RBIs; Astros beat Yankees 7-4

HOUSTON -- Spencer Arrighetti allowed one run over seven innings, and Christian Walker homered and drove home a season-high four runs, and the Houston Astros beat New York 7-4 on Sunday to snap the Yankees' eight-game winning streak.

Arrighetti (3-0) struck out eight while allowing three hits and one walk. He is the first Astros starter to pitch seven innings since Lance McCullers Jr . on March 30.

Aaron Judge , celebrating his 34th birthday, supplied the only blemish on Arrighettis line when he hit a solo homer in the sixth. Judges three birthday homers tied Yogi Berra and Graig Nettles for second-most among Yankees, trailing only Lou Gehrigs four.

Walker gave the Astros a 2-0 lead when he sent a 3-2 changeup from Luis Gil 432 feet over the wall in left-center field for his seventh homer of the season and second in as many days.

Isaac Paredes added a two-run homer in the third inning, and after Paredes singled home Carlos Correa in the fifth, Walker hit a two-run double to give Houston a 7-0 lead.

Walker was 3 for 4, while Paredes and Yordan Alvarez had two hits apiece.

Gil (1-2) pitched into the fifth and was charged with six runs on five hits for the Yankees.

Paul Goldschmidt and Jazz Chisholm Jr . had two hits for New York.

After the game, the Yankees optioned Gil to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
