Sunday's 6-1 win clinched the Bombers' first sweep since taking three games from Kansas City from July 21-23.
Houston's weekend slide came after a five-game winning streak and it left the Astros a game behind the first-place Mariners and tied for second with the Texas Rangers in a tight AL West race.
That sent Houston fans streaming for the exits as chants of"Let's go Yankees!" filled Minute Maid Park. Houston starter Cristian Javier allowed four hits and three runs with eight strikeouts in six innings.
