The pre-Fourth of July weekend at Minute Maid Park was full of fireworks, home runs, wins and losses as the Astros took two out of three games against division rivals, the New York Yankees. The series started out horrendously Friday night as the Astros took a beating, losing 13-4, but the Astros fared better on Saturday and Sunday winning both games and taking the series. We have fan shots and game action from June 30 and July 2. (Photos by Eric Sauseda / Houston Press)
