O Chicago, how can we beat thee?
Let me count the ways.
- Hitting...After scoring 20 runs the last two games, the Astros followed up today with another solid seven run performance, knocking ten hits and coaxing 7 walks while keeping constant pressure on the beleaguered White Sox staff. Though not as proficiently as in the previous two games, the Astros bats bunched together clutch hits and plated runners in scoring position. Some dormant bats came to life today, with Jake Marisnick starting a big rally with his first hit in 22 at bats, Marwin Gonzalez getting a key two run double, and Evan Gattis contributing 2 RBI and homering for the first time this year.
