Astros Bats Continue Demolition of AL. Clobber White Sox 10-2

The Astros took out yet another can of whup-ass on an AL opponent, tonight battering the AL Central-leading Chicago White Sox 10-2. Although only getting eight hits, the big blows were three long-balls, one each courtesy of Jose Altuve, Michael Brantley, and Abraham Toro, replacing the injured Alex Bregman.

Meanwhile, Jose Urquidy was sharp yet again, limiting the Sox to two runs in seven innings, allowing just four hits and a walk, while striking out five against a potent White Sox lineup.

The Astros went to work early on Sox starter Dylan Cease with a three-run homer by Michael Brantley in the first inning after an Altuve infield hit and an error put two Astros on board.

The Astros added four more in the fourth on an RBI double by Carlos Correa, a two-RBI single by Toro, and a sac fly by Altuve.

Altuve added another run in the sixth with a solo homer, his 16th of the year, his fourth in the last three games, and eighth in the last ten.

Altuve’s homer made it ten straight two-homer games for the Astros, tying a Major League record.

Game MVP Toro ended the scoring with a two-run homer in the seventh. He accounted for four RBI and two runs scored.
