On Thursday afternoon, the Astros showed a pretty enjoyable version of themselves on the field. With 25 hits, they scored 21 times to slam the White Sox against the wall in a 21-5 victory to split the four-game series. Alex Bregman stayed red hot and had a stellar performance along with Chas McCormick to help Houston set a new season-high in runs – their highest mark since September 8, 2019 (also 21).
After a scoreless first inning for both teams, Trey Mancini was the spark for a lineup that was about to explode. Mancini hit his fourth home run as an Astro, a solo shot off Lucas Giolito in the second inning.
