Game Summary
Houston Astros defeated the Chicago White Sox 2-0. The Astros prevailed thanks to a dominant start from Hayden Wesneski, who worked seven scoreless innings while allowing one hit and striking out five, and a scoreless bullpen finish with AJ Blubaugh getting the win and Josh Hader recording the save. Nelson Velázquez provided the decisive blow with a two-run single in the bottom of the eighth that scored Isaac Paredes and José Altuve. Yordan Alvarez (2-for-4) and Tristan Peters (2-for-3, triple) were among the few multi-hit performers, but Chicago managed only three hits and left 15 runners on base; Sean Newcomb took the loss.
