The first road trip of the season started as well as the Yankees could’ve asked for with a sweep of the Baltimore Orioles. The path gets tougher for the Bombers however, as they now face off against another likely playoff contender in the Houston Astros. The Astros have gotten off to a similarly so-so start, breaking even in their first ten games, but they are still undefeated at home during this young year.
Masahiro Tanaka will get the ball in the first game of the series, coming off of an outing where he went deep into the game against the Tigers but was unable to come away with a win.
