The much-anticipated Major League Baseball Regular Season game between the Houston Astros and New York Yankees, scheduled for Friday, Aug. 8, 2025, will be streamed on Apple TV+ at 7:05 PM EDT, according to the official New York Yankees announcement.
For those interested in catching the action, Apple TV+ is the platform to tune into. However, it's worth noting that while MLB.TV generally offers out-of-market games for a subscription, no explicit listing has been found for this game on August 8, 2025. DirecTV, which carries FOX Sports live broadcasts, is not explicitly confirmed for this particular game's coverage.
The game marks David Bednar's third appearance for the Yankees (61-54), who currently remain ahead of the Texas Rangers for the American League's third and final wild-card spot. This was Bednar's most pitches in a game this season, with a total of 42 pitches.
In a dramatic turn of events, Bednar secured his first save for the New York Yankees on Wednesday, August 5, 2025. The game saw Corey Seager and Marcus Semien as the only two batters to reach base in the ninth inning. Remarkably, all five outs in the ninth inning were strikeouts for Bednar.
The game took place at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, New York, and ended with a score of 3-2, marking a victory for the Yankees and a conclusion to their five-game losing streak. The game on Saturday, Aug. 9, will be broadcast on MLB Network and YES Network.
In an unexpected twist, Yankees' manager Aaron Boone initially intended to pull Bednar in the ninth inning, but he refused and went on to secure the final five outs, demonstrating his determination and skill on the mound.
