Yankees Aim for Offensive Momentum Against Astros
The New York Yankees are experiencing a surge in offensive production and are looking to continue this trend as they host the Houston Astros for the final game of their three-game series on Thursday night.
New York has won 11 of its last 17 games and has scored 24 runs in the last three games, batting .333 during this stretch. In their previous game against Houston, the Yankees achieved 13 hits, matching their highest total since the All-Star break. Manager Aaron Boone expressed optimism about the team's offensive capabilities.
Key players contributing to this offensive output include Cody Bellinger, who has returned from injury and is batting .333 over his last 15 games, and Jazz Chisholm Jr., who has a .435 average in his last seven games. The Astros, on the other hand, are struggling, having lost 10 of their last 16 games, and will start Hayden Wesneski against Yankees' Gerrit Cole, who has been effective in his recent outings.
