The Chicago White Sox snapped the Houston Astros' eight-game winning streak with a 5-4 victory on Friday, thanks in large part to Luis Robert Jr., who recorded two home runs and four RBIs. The Astros struggled offensively, particularly without key players Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker, and only managed to get two hits from their top three batters. White Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet excelled, striking out nine in four innings while Astros rookie Spencer Arrighetti allowed four runs over 5 2/3 innings. The Astros will look to bounce back in Game 2 of the series, with Hunter Brown taking the mound, having previously performed well against the White Sox. Meanwhile, Chris Flexen will start for the White Sox, but he has struggled in recent games, making this an opportunity for the Astros' lineup to regain their form. The outcome of the upcoming game could be critical for both teams, as the White Sox aim for their first series win since June.
