White Sox Fall to Astros, 4-2
Chicago catcher Jorge Buentello was sensational. He was 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times. But it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Houston beat the White Sox, 4-2. At 61-62, the Astros are currently 4th in the American League West Division.

Houston used the timely hitting of Josh Kleckner to capture the win. The catcher socked a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Astros ahead, 4-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

Houston manager Ron Astros GM was pleased with the team's effort. "It was just a good, gutsy performance by everybody," he said.
