The Houston Astros (10-17) will play the second of a three-game series with their heated interdivision rival New York Yankkes (17-9), tonight at Daikin Park.
RHP Mike Burrows(1-3 ,6.75 ERA) will make his sixth regular season appearance for the Astros tonight opposite the Yankees and starter RHP Ryan Weathers (1-2, 3.18 ERA).
TONIGHT’S STARTER: RHP Mike Burrows is making his sixth start of the season as he tries to follow up a promising beginning to his last start (4.2 hitless innings) before everything unraveled following the second out in the fifth inning.
This season, Burrows has actually been the Astros most durable starter as he has gone five or more innings in all but one of his starts.
HOME-COOKIN’: Tonight is the second game of a brief three game home stand against the Yankees. Even though the team is 10-17 overall, seven of those wins have come at home this season as the team is a respectable 7-7 at home coming into tonight’s game.
VS. THE YANKEES: This series revives a major rivalry between two stalwart American League franchises including three different playoff tilts since 2015. In spite of the dominance in the playoffs, the Yankees hold a 53-36 record all-time. The two teams split the season series last year at three games a piece.
TODAY’S ROSTER MOVE: The Astros have reinstated LHP Bennett Sousa from the 15-day IL today…he takes the roster spot of LHP Colton Gordon, who was optioned to Triple A Sugar Land after last night’s game.
