Yankees have Edge on the Hill

He had only one walk with seven strikeouts over six innings in a 5-1 loss on May 12.
Montgomery’s opponent in this one will be Francis Martes. The Astros right hander has a 5.51 ERA to go along with a 2-0 record this season. Martes will face the Yankees for the first time. He lasted just two innings in his last start. He allowed two runs on two hits. Martes also four walks to go with three strikeouts in the Astros’ 8-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners on June 25.
Astros right-hander Charlie Morton is set to return from the 10-day disabled list next week in Toronto. Morton had a month-long rehab stint to recover from a right lat strain. Martes is the likely candidate to give up a spot in the rotation and return to Triple-A Fresno.
The Yankees are trying to make to two straight over the 1st place Astros. They pummeled the Stros’ 13-4 last night.
