The New York Yankees and the Houston Astros are back at it
again with the second game of their four-game extended weekend set in the
Bronx. TGIF and Happy Friday everyone. In tonight’s contest the Yankees will
send rookie Jordan Montgomery to the mound looking to slow down a Houston
Astros offense that has pushed the team to their best start in their
franchise’s history while the Astros will counter with Lance McCullers Jr.,
another young pitcher and son of former Yankees pitcher Lance McCullers. This
should be a good one and has all the makings and potential of being a glimpse
into the future of this rivalry. Enjoy.
Jordan Montgomery will make his sixth start of the young
2017 season and of his career after posting quality starts in three of his
first five starts. In his last start against the Chicago Cubs the Yankees young
lefty went a career-long 6.2 innings allowing just two runs in a victory for
New York. Montgomery is getting stronger, better and more comfortable with
every start it seems and there’s no reason to believe that won’t continue
tonight in the Bronx against the Houston Astros.
Lance McCullers Jr. has been a Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. McCullers
Jr. all season long, especially when you look at his home and away splits.
McCullers has posted a 2-0 record with a 2.08 ERA at home inside Minute Maid
Park this season while on the road the right has posted an 0-1 record with a
5.51 ERA.
The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium
and can be seen on WPIX Channel 11 in New York and MLB TV wherever you and your
device are. You can also follow along with the game inside your cars or on the
radio by tuning into Mr. and Mrs. Baseball, John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman, on
WFAN. Enjoy the game and as always, Go Yankees!
