Eight Game Win Streak Snapped, Astros Lose 5-4 To White Sox

Without Kyle Tucker and Alex Bregman, the Astros lineup is rather thin, especially once a pitcher gets past the first four hitters. Or occasionally three, depending on who is in the outfield. Garrett Crochet and the White Sox pitchers certainly didn’t’ have much of an issue, especially when the highest three hitters in the batting order — Jose Altuve, Yordan Alvarez, and Yainer Díaz — were held to two hits and a RBI with six strikeouts. Four, of which belonged to Díaz alone. Jake Meyers, who hit sixth, actually generated the most damage against Chicago pitcher, hitting a two-run home run in the sixth inning.
