In 2012, the Houston Astros would play their last season in the National League, then begin play in the American League the following year. A game with the New York Yankees was good practice for that. There is always a huge following for the New York Yankees when they are in Kissimmee, Florida. It's more of a barnstorming atmosphere than the typical methodical spring training game.
New York Yankees beat Houston Astros 11-9 on Saturday March 31, 2012.
