Chicago White Sox can’t stop Jake Meyers, who drives in a career-high 7 in the Houston Astros’ 8-3 win

Davis Martin went all out during a fourth-inning showdown with Jake Meyers.

The Chicago White Sox starter began with two fastballs to get ahead 0-2. Meyers then fouled off a slider and fastball.

Martin threw a changeup in the dirt for a ball. Another fastball followed, which the Houston Astros center fielder fouled off again. Martin went with a slider and cutter, both for balls to make it a full count.

Meyers fouled off the ninth pitch of the at-bat, a changeup. Meyers connected on the 10th pitch, a fastball, for a two-run triple.

“I gave him pretty much everything I had, executed a lot of pitches in really good spots, set up things exactly how I wanted to set up, and I lost,” Martin said.
