The New York Yankees and the Houston Astros will finish
their three-game set this week in the heart of Texas with the finale of their
series. For the finale, the Yankees will send James Paxton to the mound to face
off with Collin McHugh for the Astros. The Yankees have an off-day tomorrow
before traveling to Chicago to face off with the White Sox, so let’s get to it
here in Houston so the team can get the hell out of here.
Paxton faced the Astros four times in 2018 as a member of
the Seattle Mariners, posting a 4-0 record with a 2.05 ERA. Career against the
Astros, Paxton is 7-3 with a 2.89 ERA in 12 starts, so it’s safe to say that
Paxton has done well against Houston throughout his career.
McHugh has been incredible inside Minute Maid Park
throughout his career, posting a 5-0 record with a 1.18 ERA over his last eight
starts there. McHugh was tough in his last start as well, limiting the Oakland
Athletics to just one run on three hits.
The game will be played at 7:40 pm ET inside Minute Maid
Park in Houston and can be seen on the YES Network, MLB Network and MLB TV. You
can also follow along with the game on the radio with the WFAN broadcast of John
Sterling and Suzyn Waldman. Enjoy the game and go Yankees!!
