The Astros went down without much of a threat against Lucas Giolito in his best pitching performance to date at the major league level, and the White Sox managed a split in Houston as they won their second game in a row, 4-0.
Basically nothing went the Astros’ way tonight. On the whole, Corbin Martin’s third start looked closer to his second one in Boston than his debut. The first two innings went relatively smoothly, with a lone single as the only blemish, but the wheels came off immediately in the third. Yolmer Sanchez led off the inning with a double, Charlie Tilson worked a walk, then hits by Yoan Moncada and Tim Anderson brought those two in.
