Correa's dribbler boosts Astros over Yanks 5-3 in opener (Yahoo Sports)

New York Yankees relief pitcher Dellin Betances (68) picks up Carlos Correa's eighth-inning infield roller as Correa races to first base in an opening day baseball game in New York, Tuesday, April 5, 2016. Correa reached on a Betances throwing error, but Yankees manager Joe Girardi argued with the home plate umpire on the play that Correa was running on the infield instead of the base path, blocking Betances from cleanly fielding the ball.

Carlos Correa reached on an eighth-inning dribbler that Dellin Betances threw over first baseman Mark Teixeira as Jose Altuve scored the tiebreaking run, and the Houston Astros went on to beat the New York Yankees 5-3 Tuesday to win four straight openers for the first time in franchise history. Yankees manager Joe Girardi argued with plate umpire Dana DeMuth that Correa should have been called out for running on the fair side of the foul line, causing Betances (0-1) to throw the ball over Teixeira for an error.
