The Houston Astros swept the Chicago White Sox in the weekend series, defeating them 9-5 after a 4-1 victory. The 9-5 game featured late-inning offense from Walker and Smith and strong bullpen work, with Blubaugh and Teng among the relievers. Ronel Blanco returned to the mound for Houston but followed with a tougher outing after a long layoff, while Hunter Brown delivered seven scoreless innings with no walks on Saturday. For Chicago, Sean Burke worked six innings with ten strikeouts but received little offensive support as the Sox again struggled at the plate. The series highlighted Houston’s depth and resilience as they pursue a contending-season push, while Chicago again faced offensive stagnation and defensive miscues.
