Wow, what a game. In 2 games, the Yankees came from behind twice to take the lead from the hated Astros and steal a win. Yankee starting pitching again was good enough to keep the Yankees in the game while showing flashes of what could be, the Yankees again got contributions from up and down the lineup, and for once, the Yankees weren’t the most sloppy team on the field.
The Yankees have a really tough early season schedule, and getting off to a good start was imperative. By winning 2 in Houston, the Yankees need just one more win to win the opening series of the season and will almost certainly leave Houston feeling pretty good. The Yankees even got decent news on the injury front, as it seems that Gleyber Torres avoided serious injury on his HBP. 2024 sure looks different than 2023 for the Yankees so far.
