Although Astros hitting continues to struggle against White Sox pitching, tonight a quality start by the starting pitching was not wasted, as the bullpen protected Framber Valdez's 3-2 lead.
The Astros scored first and it was all Jose Altuve. After a four-pitch walk from White Sox starter Michael Kopech, Altuve stole second and third bases and scored on a Yordan Alvarez sacrifice fly.
In a one-run win, Altuve’s hustle before the third out of the game was recorded may have been the decisive factor in the Astros' win.
The Astros added two more runs in the fourth inning when Kyle Tucker doubled Yordan Alvarez to third base, who singled to lead off the inning.
