White Sox 7, Astros 0: Several key trends broken — except one

Despite rumors to the contrary, there will still be a series up for grabs in Houston on Sunday!

Johnny Cueto and the Houston Astros lineup both turned back the clock to 2014, and the Chicago White Sox offense hunkered down for their most critical bounce-back of the season in a 7-0 shutout win on Saturday afternoon, beating Justin Verlander for the first time since June 11, 2014. The South Siders chased Verlander for seven earned runs on eight hits, handing him his shortest outing as a member of the Astros at 3 23 innings pitched.
