Game Preview

Houston Astros manager Joe Espada had no intention of completing the first series of this season with any fresh players, not after the New York Yankees took the first three games of the weekend set.

Espada used two of his high-leverage relievers — right-hander Bryan Abreu and closer Josh Hader — for the second time in as many games on Sunday, with the latter pitching for the third time in the four-game series. Espada used three of the four players he had available off his bench, including Victor Caratini and Mauricio Dubon in the ninth inning facing a one-run deficit.

“Trying to win a game,” Espada said. “Trying to put the guys in the best position to succeed.
