Houston Astros at New York Yankees: How to watch

The Houston Astros are aiming for their second consecutive win against the New York Yankees after a thrilling 5-3 victory that extended into extra innings. Pitcher Framber Valdez, with an impressive 2.83 ERA this season, is set to take the mound for Houston, looking to rebound from a rough outing at Fenway Park. The Yankees will counter with Luis Gil, who has struggled this season, sporting a 13.50 ERA. This matchup promises to be crucial for both teams as they navigate the final stretch of the season.
