Notes
The rubber game comes with a role reversal on the mound: former Astro Gerrit Cole starts for New York, while former Yankee Hayden Wesneski gets the ball for Houston. After splitting the first two games in the Bronx, the Astros have a chance to take the series—and, with the rest of the AL West idle Thursday, add a little breathing room atop the division.
