The Chicago White Sox beat the Houston Astros 5-1 on Tuesday night, with Colson Montgomery driving in two runs. Montgomery records two hits and two RBIs, while Randal Grichuk contributes a two-run double that helps extend Chicago’s advantage.
Sean Burke earns the win, allowing one hit and walking four while striking out six over 5 2/3 scoreless innings. The Yahoo Sports report also notes Burke’s prior start involved a higher walk total, and that his performance against Houston follows after a difficult outing.
In the broader American League West race, Houston’s loss reduces its lead over the Texas Rangers to one game. Yahoo Sports links the standings shift to Texas’s 8-5 victory over the Athletics, contrasting the game’s outcome with results elsewhere on the schedule.
