Astros Win Series, Rangers' Offense Surges

The Texas Rangers have recently showcased a powerful offense, scoring 34 runs in a three-game stretch and preparing for a homestand against the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals despite pitching injuries. The Chicago White Sox have improved significantly in drawing walks, rising from last in MLB in 2024 to among the leaders in 2025 with help from new players and a patient hitting approach. The Houston Astros edged the White Sox 4-3 in their most recent matchup, with Isaac Paredes and Jose Altuve powering the offense and Josh Hader remaining perfect in save chances. The Astros now prepare to host the Minnesota Twins, looking to maintain their strong home record. Jose Altuve's role continues to shift between left field and second base as rookie Jacob Melton gains more outfield starts. Both the Astros and Twins are contending for position in their divisions as the season progresses.
