After scoring 27 runs and mashing 38 hits in the first three wins in the series against White Sox, the Astros resorted to small ball today, scoring the winning run on a two strike suicide squeeze by Marwin Gonzalez, plating Yuli Gurriel. Gurriel got on base with a lead off double in the seventh inning, one of only three hits the Astros managed all day.
Gurriel was the White Sox nemesis this weekend, going 6-13 and accumulating 7 RBI.
The Astros only other run was on a Jose Altuve home run in the 4th, his ninth of the year.
