DJ Lemahieu had this to say about New York’s 6-3 win over Houston!

It’s a big win because this is one of the better teams we’ve faced this year,”You could tell they were coming at us with everything they had. We’ve had a good start, but at the same time, we haven’t done anything yet either. We’ll be watching them from afar, and there’s some other good teams, too.”

Aaron Judge who hit the game winning 3 run home run home run had this to say about New York’s 6-3 win over Houston!

These two teams, we’re going to be seeing each other a lot down the road,”We’ve seen each other a lot in years past in the postseason. You look forward to these weekends, playing good teams and seeing where you stack up.”

Though, DJ Lemahieu, Aaron Judge weren’t only players to talk about the 6-3 win over the Houston as Giancarlo Stanton did too!

Giancarlo Stanton had this to say about New York’s 6-3 over Houston!

We were no-hit into the seventh and we ended up winning the game. If you give up in the eighth with five outs left, two outs left, you’re giving them an advantage. As long as we’ve got an out left, we’ve got a chance to win.”

Though could mother nature get in the way of Jordan Montgomery, Paul Blackburn starting?

I would say there is a small chance of that happening because 25% chance of rain at first pitch then 7 % chance of rain at 8:00pm, 9:00pm 10:00pm when the game is supposed to be over.

“according to accuweather.com”

First pitch is set for 7:05pm if you’re watching on the the East Coast! 4:05pm if you’re watching on the West Coast!

The game is going to be televised on Major League Baseball Network, NBCSCA, Yes!
