Notes & reviews

Yankees challenged call that Judge was out returning to 1st; call was overturned - safe, no DP
Judge had gone one step past second on Sanchez's fly ball and did not retouch second on the way back to first; Astros were preparing to challenge the missed base when Judge took off for second; if he had made it, then the Astros could not have challenged the second base play
Astros challenged call that Headley was safe at 2nd; call was upheld - safe
