Javier, Pressly, and unexpected heroes help Astros take series over White Sox

Despite suffering in the last minute, the Astros came up with the win 4-3 against the White Sox on Sunday Night Baseball to take the three-game series. Even though Chicago tried to rally and tie the game, closer Ryan Pressly had things under control to seal the victory. Houston enjoyed the performance of two unexpected heroes: JJ Matijevic and Mauricio Dubón, who hit a home run apiece.

After snapping his 15-game hitting streak on Saturday, Kyle Tucker registered an early RBI single to put the Astros ahead 1-0. That lead was extended in the fourth with Matijevic’s first career home run, a solo shot off fireballer Michael Kopech to make it 2-0.
