Tough day for Wade Miley

Altuve ties the game
The Astros chipped away at the White Sox and were able to tie the game in the eighth inning after a two-run homer from Jose Altuve which tied the game at 9-9.
James McCann's grand slam off Ryan Pressly puts the game out of reach
The White Sox quickly took the lead back after McCann's grand slam in the bottom of the eighth giving Chicago a 13-9 lead.
