It was another high-scoring clash when New York won 9-4 on Wednesday night, hammering Houston’s Spencer Arrighetti for the first three innings, then adding another four later in the game against Astros relievers. Kyle Tucker launched a solo home run off Carlos Rodon in the first inning to start the scoring for the night, but that was the only run Houston got until much later in the game.

New York’s crowd-pleasing, high-octane offense was at it again, with a two-run homer and RBI single from Juan Soto, plus solo homers from Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. A young Yankees fan in the audience also turned what could have been an RBI for Austin Wells into just a double, when he snagged a ball that would have hit the right field wall off the bounce.

New York will look for a series sweep and sixth-straight home win tonight before they head on the road against Tampa Bay on Friday. Marcus Stroman starts for the Yankees opposite Ronel Blanco for the Astros.
