Game Thread: Astros at Yanks (4:08 PM EDT); Cards at Nats (elimination o’clock, St. Louis time)

The Yankees and Astros kick off the doubleheader tonight, with the series tied at one game a piece moving to New York. Gerrit Cole will get the start for the Astros, while Luis Severino will start for the Yankees.

The weather looks pretty butt for this one, so it’s possible that this one doesn’t get in tonight.

None of that is nearly as exciting as an elimination game, and that’s exactly what we have on tap in DC. The Nationals and Patrick Corbin will take on Dakota Hudson and the Cardinals. The Cardinals have their backs firmly against the wall, as a loss tonight will send them home and swept out of the playoffs.

You’d just hate to see it.
