The Los Angeles Angels are back in Houston Friday night for the second of a three-game series against the Astros. The game is scheduled to start at 8:10 p.m. ET (7:10 p.m. CT) on “Friday Night Baseball” on Apple TV+ (free trial).

It was the Angels who helped make sure the Astros didn’t reach the playoffs for the first time in eight seasons last September when they rallied from three runs down to beat Houston in the third-from-last game of the regular season.
