Yankees Dominate Astros in Game 2 | New York Yankees News

The Yankees crushed the Astros 9-3 in Game 2, exploding for six runs in the 7th and 8th innings thanks to Cody Bellinger’s clutch bases-loaded double. With 13 hits to Houston’s 4, New York’s offense was on fire — keeping them within striking distance in the AL East and widening their lead over Boston. The Astros missed a chance to climb in their division as rivals also fell. Tonight’s rubber match pits Astros’ rising ace Hayden Wesneski (5 shutout innings last time out) against former Astro Gerrit Cole, who’s been dominant lately — including four straight wins for the Yankees. Both teams’ bats are hot, making this a must-watch pitching duel at Yankee Stadium at 7:05 PM ET. Tune in on MLB.tv, SCHN, or YES — and bet on the Yankees to keep rolling.
