Astros Win at Home, 4-3
The Chicago White Sox and Houston Astros provided some drama for the home crowd.

Patrick Sandoval was superb against Chicago. The left-hander had a slider that was virtually unhittable at times. The result was a Astros victory. The score was 4-3. Justin Martinez, who is rated as the 81st best prospect by BNN, nailed down the save.

Kyle Schwarber had a big 2-run home run for the Astros in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Houston trailing 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from Grayson Rodriguez, who is rated as the 15th best prospect by BNN, and punished it. The result was his 6th home run of the season, which put the Astros on top, 2-1.

Houston manager Mickey D called it "a pretty good win."

The White Sox fall to 12-16 and continue their uninspiring start to the 2025 season.
