The Houston Astros have an interesting matchup against the New York Mets on Tuesday. Even though it is still MLB Spring Training, both of these squads are viewed by many as the best in their respective leagues. There is some pride in Tuesday's matchup.

The other oddity about Tuesday's game is the start time. First pitch is scheduled for 5:05 p.m. CST, very different from the Astros early afternoon games they and the fans have become accustomed to. 

As is the norm now, most of the team's star players are with their respective countries preparing for the World Baseball Classic. However, Framber Valdez has elected to not compete in the tournament and will therefore continue his normally scheduled starts with Houston. 

Tuesday is one of those days.

Unfortunately, like so many of the Astros' games this spring, it will not be televised on local television and will not be available for streaming on MLB.tv.

The only way to catch the game is via radio or listening in on the MLB app. 

Lineups for the game have not yet been released, but we will update as soon as possible!

Stay tuned!
