The Houston Astros abruptly halted the White Sox’s momentum tonight, handing Chicago a 10-2 defeat that felt like a complete unraveling. Astros slugger Christian Walker led the charge, driving in four runs and falling a triple shy of the cycle. Houston’s pitching also utterly dominated Sox hitters, with their three hurlers combining for 12 strikeouts
Pale Hose starter Sean Burke endured a brutal outing, surrendering seven runs in just 3 2⁄3 innings. Houston wasted no time, erupting for three runs in the bottom of the first thanks to back-to-back doubles from Isaac Paredes and Jose Altuve, followed by a two-run blast from Walker.
