The Yankees (23-13, 2nd AL East) are coming off a 5-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers to cap a three-game series in the Bronx. New York is still one game behind the Baltimore Orioles, but they will look to close the gap against the slumping Houston Astros, 12-20, who are coming off a 2-1 series loss to the Seattle Mariners .

The Yankees held a 2-0 advantage for most of Sunday’s Game 3 against Detroit, but the Tigers managed to tie Ian Hamilton in the top of the 7th inning. New York fought back in the bottom of the inning, with Juan Soto smashing a go-ahead run, clearing the bases to deep right field to set up the final score of the game. The tarp came out after a scoreless eighth inning, leading to a Yankees victory.

Soto’s 28 RBIs for the season so far rank second in the American League so far this year, behind Kansas City’s Salvador Perez with 30.

Luis Gil will start the series for New York, facing Justin Verlander for Houston. Here’s how to stream Game 1 on Tuesday.
