The Yankees had the worst MLB season for a generation last year, missing out on the playoffs and being especially lackluster over the regular season.

However, they have made several changes to remedy that, and the additions that they made over the winter are paying off. The biggest acquisition was undoubtedly Juan Soto, with the outfielder hitting the ground running.

New York pulled off a big comeback in the first game of the series after trailing the Astros early before limiting their opponents to a single run the second to take the victory.
