Houston Astros Defeat Chicago White Sox 4-3, White Sox Fall to 7-28 Road

The Houston Astros defeated the Chicago White Sox in two consecutive games, winning 10-2 on Wednesday and 4-3 on Thursday. Christian Walker led the Astros with a season-high four RBIs in the first game, while Jose Altuve contributed key hits including an RBI double and reached a career milestone of 2,300 hits. On Thursday, Isaac Paredes hit a solo homer and Jose Altuve doubled twice, driving in two runs, helping the Astros secure the close victory. The White Sox showed resilience late in the Thursday game with Mike Tauchman hitting a ninth-inning homer and Miguel Vargas nearly hitting a game-tying home run, but Astros closer Josh Hader preserved the win, maintaining a perfect save record for the season. Despite the losses, White Sox players Vargas and Edgar Quero had strong offensive performances, but the team continues to struggle on the road with a 7-28 record. The Astros benefited from strong pitching performances by Ryan Gusto and Framber Valdez, as well as defensive plays such as Altuve's leaping grab, maintaining their momentum at home.
