We welcome you to Chicago, Illinois where tonight White Sox did not miss a beat coming out of the all-star break They'll face Jordan Alvarez in the Astros here at home a dangerous ball club as we enter play tonight This is a big moment here for this White Sox team Coming in to play tonight a game and a half in front of the Guardians in the AL Central as Davis Martin Looks to lead the team on to the mound Jeremy speed setting up a runner on first base with nobody out for the big man Yordan Alvarez This is the man who's just ripping the cover off the ball right now 328 batting average On the ground it is my job starts it off First four six three double play turn boom boom boom. How do you like that right hit it hard? We don't care as long as it's right at somebody and that to hopper was played perfectly by my drop All they had to do was wait for it grab it and get rid of it So two outs on one pitch that'll bring a parade us. We got him to pop it up It's the second baseman my broth circling and he's got it So that was I believe a nine pitch first inning for Davis Martin We head to the bottom of inning one Spencer Arrogantly who gets the start today or get he very good in his last outing against the Orioles five innings of one hit baseball Did walk four and that started Antonacci at third or a commie at second Vargas at first bases loaded Nobody out first inning big at bat for Colson Montgomery and Colson. It's a pop fly out into Shallow left Lamont Wade jr. Will give way it'll be caught by the center fielder and Antonacci will score And it's a sacrifice fly for Montgomery one to nothing two down And it's up to Brayden Montgomery It's a big at bat for Brayden Montgomery because you allow a pitcher to get off the hook with just one run Then for Eric Getty, there's a lot of adrenaline. He's feeling pretty good about this first inning The windmill is on for Murakami as a White Sox a 2-0 lead thanks to the RBI single from Brayden Montgomery a big two out RBI single and Montgomery now takes off As that one's gonna hit Tristan Peters and the bases are loaded again It catches a piece of him and a chance for the Sox to add a few more That one's gonna hit my dross and a run will score making it three to nothing Sox here in the first inning two batters in a row plunked This one produces another run and that's a three run lead early as he gets one sky high in the air on the infield Vasquez coming out from behind the plate parade is still coming from third What a catch by Isak as he adjusted at the last second Well, he had a long way to go playing Murakami to pull and then that ball being pushed Towards that dugout almost over ran it but had to lead backwards It's one thing to get there using your legs But it's another thing to try and stick the landing fortunately landing in a good enough position to be able to get back up Top of the third innings it's gonna be Lucas Spence The 23 year old to start things for the Astros and it hit him They got the foot of Lucas Spence and that's how we start the third inning Struggling cam Smith batting just 210 Swing and a miss strike three on a curb Davis Martin with his first strikeout tonight Christian Vasquez Foul tip strike three. Well, you can really see it when Davis is feeling it He is pounding the strike zone with a high percentage of strikes All right So a couple of strikeouts first time through the order Jeremy Pena who wears the number three has hit a home run in three straight Games the Astros in franchise history have never had a shortstop hit a home run in four straight Jeremy trying to do that tonight and also become the first Astros since Alex Bregman a few years ago Who's hit a home run in four straight games? Jeremy Pena with a base in up the middle Three who reached on an error his first time up the first hit of the ball game for the Astros Comes with two outs here in this third inning puts runners on first and second for your Don Alvarez Basically the the blueprint for the Astros get guys on ahead of your Don There's a swing and a pop fly out and do right and it'll hold up for Brayden Montgomery And Alvarez 0 for 2 tonight and the Astros leave a pair. We do have a developing situation here in Chicago That is not good. Eric Velasquez and Joe Espada came out to the mound to check on Spencer Arrighetti They talked to the home plate umpire Dexter Kelly and said he is not right He has to leave the game before the second inning starts was throwing warm-up pitches blummer and just didn't feel right We've got a new pitcher into this game. Can't wait. Don't coming into this game Seven-year-old right-hander cheese another hit batter That's four hit batters tonight, and it's two on with nobody out And it feels like this is a blowout the way the game has gone, but it's only three nothing So really like to blow this thing open right here Challenged by Vasquez on a 2-2 pitch. He felt like that had the plate Dexter Kelly called it a ball We'll get our first ABS powered by T-Mobile challenge It's either a strikeout or a full count and it's a strikeout Vasquez gets a strikeout flipped on the challenge for the first out of the inning here's Miguel Vargas This one's popped up. We have seen pop-ups be trouble so far tonight Christian Vasquez looks stable, and he's there with Christian Walker covering him just in case for the second out So it's now two outs and two on and Kai way after back-to-back hit batters can find his way out of the inning if he can get Colson Montgomery, and guess what it's a pop-up out to Bay at the back of the dirt He makes the catch with two hands. That's the third out of the inning so after two hit batters It's a one two three. We'll go to the fifth inning now Lucas Spence rookie center fielder. It's a nice hand Guessing he has a lot of family and friends here. He's a local guy Lucas with a base hit here in Chicago Welcome home Lucas Spence his first major league hit on the road in his career Cubs in Chicago good for him It was exciting to be able to go out there and put on a show And that's hit the other way and in the right center a base hit for Vasquez and on his way to third is spent It's picked up deep into the outfield by Peters Smith stops at third Vasquez is on with a single But how important is it that Vasquez gets on here in front of Pena and a Pena gets on and then it's your own It's the two hottest hitters Pena strikes out swinging. Remember that one. That's a big one with Alvarez on deck We head to the bottom of the fifth Sox three Astros nothing Benetton He walks a four pitch walk to open the bottom of the fifth Here's Braden Montgomery two for two so far tonight a swing and a bloop out into right center field and a base hit He's three for three Benatendi trying to make third and he will great read and once he committed He just kept on moving and he did that thing the White Sox love to do take the extra base first and third no outs Peters at the plate Gets away Benintendi will score easily White Sox make it four to nothing here in the fifth inning. So the heads-up base running by Benintendi reduces a run on a breaking ball into dirt Vasquez doesn't get a glove on it hits off his shin guard and bounds away It has ruled a wild pitch allowing Benny to score and Montgomery to get to second Popped up it is Paredes in foul territory in front of the White Sox Makes the catch. There's Chase Mydroth. He popped up to Altuve to end the third inning. He was also hit by a pitch Big swing out to left field as Wade jr. At the wall Montgomery had to hold he's gonna get waved in here's the relay Montgomery gets in there off the RBI double from Chase Mydroth who continues to produce and the White Sox make it a Five-nothing lead base hit for Yordan and Yordan Alvarez now has a ten-game hit streak So the Astros get the leadoff man on for Isak Paredes who's popped out twice to shortstop. Look out Isak hit by another pitch this one got him near the hand They're gonna throw it a second just in case they're gonna rule with that hit the bat Well, nobody's ruled anything. The umpires called everybody out. They said they ruled that it hit the bat. I'm not sure That the batter was not hit by the pitch the previous play is under review It's pretty clear. Watch the top hand it hits that hand on the meat of the hand Hopefully catching more meat than hand and it squared him up I mean it came off the bat into play After review the ruling on the field is overturned. The batter was hit by the pitch and is awarded first base So, there we go first and second nobody out Jose Altuve Base hit for Altuve Alvarez stops at third and the Astros have loaded him up with nobody out for Lamont Wade jr Who has a grand slam this year? It's the ball sharply that's gonna get through for a base hit one run scores Paredes being held up Astros will go station to station here with nobody out Lamont Wade breaks that over with an RBI single the Astros now Get their first run on the board and that is gonna be it for Davis Martin It's out of a couple of tough jams in the third and the fifth could not get out of one here in the sixth He's gonna leave with the bases loaded He's gonna leave with a four-run lead, but nobody is out So the first time the pen comes into play after the 45th time Brian Hudson who's been brilliant this year Inherits a mess bases loaded nobody out one run in there is a fair ball Now Cam Smith the batter did not start in that sweep against the Marlins working on his swing with his hitting coaches Will Bennable will make a pitching change this long sixth inning continues. This is such an unusual inning for the White Sox Basis with two outs. It is what it is. You need this third out and needs to be this man right here and Get yourselves to hitting trailing by one, but you've got a tough out they can break things wide open for the Astros Chopper off the plate. Everybody might be safe I'll run scores and say seven to five Astros lead out to base second into the inning How about in the same inning? To infield Baltimore chop hits and Jose gets his first hit of the season with the bases loaded and his 30th run batted in He's still loaded So the Astros go from five down to three up and the boos are coming down here in Chicago And the fans are restless. I get it given up eight So first and third opportunity here with two outs for Christian Vasquez shows wouldn't mind an extra run or two It's this ball hard to left going back on it Antonacci. It's gonna be over He's heading to the wall it hops up over the wall that would have scored another run had it stayed in play Vasquez makes it a nine to five game with the RBI double There's a beautiful swing by Vasquez They try to beat him with 98 down in the zone And he just dropped the barrel on it and hit a rocket out there to left over Antonacci's head Just hopped over to or that would have been a five run lead Astros three different times this year on the road have come from behind Trailing by three runs that had been to this point their biggest deficit that they've recovered from on the road Like game number 52 on the road schedule, but if they finish off this one It'll be down five on the road against a very good White Sox team This would be one of the wins of the year they win this one swing and a foul tip held on to by Vasquez on a high fastball and The White Sox are down to their final out and Luis Angel Acuna is going to pinch hit for Tristan Peters Ball game that's four in a row for the Astros when Vasquez throws the first and that completes the victory Astros have won four in a row and they start the road trip out down five and winning it with nine Unanswered runs quite a way to kick off this road trip It was a Herculean effort eight spot the top of the six Took the entire offense of the Astros to go ahead and win this ballgame But yeah remarkable comeback and we've got a little bit of a winning streak at the right time of the season
