ASTROS LOSE THE SERIES
After splitting the doubleheader on Tuesday, the Astros were looking for another series win on Wednesday with Wade Miley taking the hill. Here's how the game played out.
Final Score: White Sox 13, Astros 9.
Record: 78-43, first in the AL West.
Winning pitcher: Alex Colome (4-2, 2.30 ERA).
Losing pitcher: Ryan Pressly (2-3, 2.66 ERA).
Miley struggled against the White Sox giving up 7 runs (three earned) in only 3.1 innings pitched.
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.
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.
Up Next: The Astros head to Oakland to begin a four game series against the A's on Thursday at 9:07 PM Central. Aaron Sanchez (5-14, 5.60 ERA) will be on the mound to try to build on his recent success for Houston while the A's will counter with former Astro Mike Fiers (11-3, 3.30 ERA).
The Astros daily report is presented by APG&E.
This week on First Take, Stephen A. Smith, Brian Windhorst, and Chiney Ogwumike share their key takeaways from the Kevin Durant trade.
Stephen A. started out by saying he was happy for head coach Ime Udoka. Smith believes Udoka was the main reason this trade happened, because he doesn't believe the rest of the organization was nearly as excited about a player of Durant's age.
Smith also discusses how the trade elevates the Rockets' title hopes, as this move makes Houston true contenders.
