Astros Slap 2-1 Loss on New York
Houston turned a good effort from starter Lachlan Madden into a win over the New York Yankees at Minute Maid Park. The final score was 2-1. Madden got the win, improving to 1-0. He gave up 5 hits and walked 1 over 6.2 innings. He allowed 1 run. Bob Ramsey locked down his 1st save.

Devin Jones, the 12th overall pick in the 2022 draft, had a timely hit in the bottom of the fifth inning. With one out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, the Houston right fielder hit a 2-run single. That put the Astros in front, 2-1.

Jones said his team "played with determination."

The Astros, now 2-0, have stormed out of the gates.
