The game began with both teams eager to establish dominance. The Astros quickly put themselves on the scoreboard in the first inning, amassing three runs off two hits without committing any errors. Their momentum continued into the second inning with three more hits but failed to convert these into runs.

The Yankees responded in earnest during the third inning by scoring two runs from two hits and capitalized on this momentum by adding another run in the eighth inning from one hit. Their efforts narrowed down Houston's lead but were not sufficient to secure a win.
