Astros closer Ken Giles delivered the 1–2 punch in a 4–0 loss to the Yankees in Houston on Tuesday. 

Just not the combo he wanted. 

Giles entered the ninth inning of a scoreless game.

But Gary Sanchez made it 3–0 with a home run.

Houston starter Justin Verlander pitched eight innings, striking out 14 while allowing three hits. 

After punching himself, Giles went into the dugout and threw a bat for good measure.
