The New York Yankees can win their season-opening series with the Houston Astros with a victory on Saturday at Minute Maid Park.

The Yankees (2-0) won Friday’s game, 7-1, as Carlos Rodón was gritty in his outing for the Yankees, as he gave up just one run in 4.1 innings. From there, the bullpen pitched a shutout.

The Yankees got little done against Astros starter Cristian Javier for the first six innings of the game. But, once he gave way to the bullpen, the bats came to life. Giancarlo Stanton hit his first home run of the season, a solo shot in the ninth.

Juan Soto went 3-for-4 with an RBI, while Oswaldo Cabrera, who batted ninth, was the big star, going 4-for-5 with 3 RBI.

Here is the preview for the game, with probable pitchers, starting lineups, how to watch and listen, injury updates and more.
