An out-of-this-world catch by Luis Robert Jr. in left-center field was the beginning of the end for the Astros on Sunday afternoon. On a day they couldn’t hit as we’re used to seeing, they fell 6-3 against the White Sox to split the four-game series.
The Astros got to the ninth inning losing 6-1. It was a matter of getting three outs by the White Sox to seal the win but, suddenly, Houston began to put men on base. César Salazar —who made his MLB debut today— and Jeremy Peña walked. The threat was on!
Immediately after that, Alex Bregman struck out to extend his awful 0-for-16 start to the season, in which he has seven strikeouts.
