The Yankees arrived in Houston with all the momentum and a six-game winning streak following a sweep of the now-skipperlessRed Sox at Fenway. A couple days later, they’re eyeing yet another dusting of a rival on the road.
Behind a poised start from Ryan Weathers and an offense that continues to “have liftoff,” the Yankees beat the Astros 8-3 on Saturday night at Daikin Park. The victory pushed New York’s winning streak to eight games—matching the 2025 club’s longest—and secured another road series win victory.
For a team that looked stuck in mud offensively during parts of early April, this recent stretch has been the exact opposite. The Yankees have now scored in bunches, mixed patience with power, and repeatedly punished mistakes. Once again, Houston’s pitching staff learned how dangerous this lineup can be when it gets rolling.
The Yankees were down early after the Astros struck first in the opening frame, but Trent Grisham helped answer and set the tone. He lofted a home run into the left-field seats and directly into the glove of a Yankees fan, one of those road moments that still somehow felt made for the Bronx.
The blast would have been even sweeter had not just been thrown out attempting to swipe third base with the lefty Grisham at the plate.
Weathers continued what is becoming an encouraging trend. Fresh off the paternity list after welcoming a baby boy, the left-hander turned in another solid performance and looked in control throughout much of the night. He changed speeds effectively, attacked the zone, and kept Houston from ever building sustained momentum.
This outing came on the heels of his excellent start against , and the Yankees have to be feeling increasingly confident about what they have in the 26-year-old. When Weathers was acquired, the appeal was obvious stuff and untapped upside. Right now, both are beginning to show. The final line was not nearly as dominant as his showing against the Royals, but any team will gladly take 5.1 innings of two-run ball with no walks and four strikeouts from one of its back-end rotation starters.
Caballero then put the Bombers ahead in the fifth when he sent his third home run of the season out to left-center.
That swing helped make up for his rougher moments on the bases, as Caballero was thrown out trying to steal third twice, both times with left-handed hitters at the plate. One aggressive mistake can be shrugged off, but repeating it in the same game cost the Yankees chances to make the score even more lopsided.
evened the score with a home run of his own in the bottom of the sixth, but the Yankees answered immediately. snuck his second homer of the season over the fence in the seventh to put New York back in front, and from there Houston’s pitching staff began printing free passes to first base.
The Yankees drew seven walks over the final three innings, turning a competitive game into a grind for the Astros bullpen. Bases-loaded walks to Cody Bellinger and stretched the lead to 5-2, and the Yankees added another run in the eighth when lifted a sacrifice fly to deep center.
New York tacked on two more in the ninth after a beautifully executed hit-and-run by and Bellinger. Wells brought Bellinger home, and followed by plating Rosario to make it 8-2. The Astros added their final run in the bottom of the ninth on a homer off , but by then the game was already well out of reach.
That late run was the only blemish on the bullpen. picked up the win in his fire extinguisher role and handed the ball to , who worked a clean seventh. then navigated the eighth before Hill came on to finish off the ninth.
Eight straight wins in April do not define a season, but they can shape one. The Yankees now head into Sunday looking like one of the hottest teams in baseball, and suddenly the early bumps in the road feel much smaller in the rearview mirror. During this streak the Yankees are outscoring their opponents, 48-14.
New York will go for a ninth consecutive win—something they haven’t done since —on Sunday afternoon as Aaron Boone’s team closes out the series in Houston. The Yankees hand the ball to , who is coming off his best outing of the season in . The Astros will counter with right-hander , with first pitch set for 2:10 p.m. EDT.
