The Astros posted the most runs by an opponent ever at Chicago's
ballpark, which opened in 1991.
Bregman belted a two-run homer during a six-run fourth inning
and again in the sixth. The Astros set a season high for runs
and matched the club record with 25 hits to split the four-game
set after losing the first two. Bregman finished 4-for-6, adding
two doubles.
Houston's Kyle Tucker and Christian Vazquez also posted four
hits apiece and combined for five RBIs. Chas McCormick had a
late three-run homer with five RBIs as Houston made history in
the ballpark.
Luis Garcia (10-8) yielded a three-run homer to Yoan Moncada,
allowing seven hits while walking four and striking out four, in
grinding out five innings for the Astros, who have won six of
eight.
Houston roughed up Chicago starter Lucas Giolito (9-7), who
allowed seven runs, eight hits and a walk while pitching into
the fourth.
Gavin Sheets stroked a career-high four of the 11 hits by the
White Sox, who also walked eight times but trailed 10-0 after
four innings.
Trey Mancini sent a Giolito pitch just over the right field
fence in the second to open the scoring. The Astros added three
more in the third, including a two-run double by Bregman and
Tucker's RBI single.
Giolito's day ended without recording an out in the fourth, when
he allowed an infield single to McCormick. With Vince Velasquez
on the mound, Jose Altuve (two hits) delivered a run-scoring
single, Yuli Gurriel (3-for-5) an RBI groundout and Yordan
Alvarez an RBI double.
Alvarez came home on Bregman's drive into the left field seats
to cap Houston's breakout fourth. After Moncada's three-run home
run made it 10-3 in the fifth, Bregman belted his 18th homer the
next inning.
It marked the eighth time this season Chicago has allowed 10 or
more runs at home, a feat the White Sox haven't achieved in
2022.
