Ah, well, five’s a good number, right? The White Sox winning streak came to an end tonight, finally falling to an Astros team that probably wasn’t going to get mopped for four games under any circumstance. At the very least, they almost certainly weren’t going to lose three consecutive games in which the White Sox failed to hit a home run. Gotta love the Menechino offense, right?
In spite of some tepid and untimely bats, there were some positives, so let’s get to the breakdown.

Michael Kopech didn’t have no-hit stuff tonight, but it was still good enough to notch his third quality start in his last four tries despite failing to strike out more than two hitters for the third time in 21 non injury-abbreviated starts.
