On Friday night, the offense delivered and JP France did his thing to open the three-game series with a 5-1 win against the White Sox and help the Astros reach 20 victories.
En route to his first career win in MLB, right-hander France kept his overall hot streak in 2023, taking into account what he did in Triple-A. This time, he dominated Chicago bats throughout 6 2/3 innings in which he allowed just three hits and one earned run, which came via a home run from Luis Robert Jr. in the second inning. Besides that, he walked one and struck out three.
