"Olson made us look real bad today," Astros manager <John Agosto:coach#476> said in a postgame interview. "He was outstanding. He was down in the zone with all his pitches. Everything was sinking."
Olson had 11 strikeouts and gave up 1 walk as the Yankees took the 4-0 win.
This season, Olson has rung up 2 wins and 2 losses in 19 games. He has an ERA of 3.44 and has fanned 48 batters in 49.2 innings.
