Houston Astros 6, Chicago White Sox 2, on September 3, 2026, at Daikin Park. Houston used an eight-hit attack to produce six runs and six RBIs, including one home run, while drawing three walks against Chicago pitching. The Astros’ staff limited the White Sox to two earned runs on seven hits, struck out 10, and issued only two walks, consistently preventing Chicago from building extended innings. Chicago matched Houston with seven hits but generated no home runs and only two RBIs, with its lineup striking out 10 times. Houston played clean defense with no errors, avoiding the lapses that could have altered a game decided by four runs. The combined eight runs finished below the 8.5 Vegas total, reflecting Houston’s pitching control and Chicago’s limited conversion of baserunners. The result supports Houston’s run differential and gives its rotation another effective team performance to build on.
