Houston Astros‑White Sox series 2026

The Astros completed an eight‑run sixth‑inning comeback to beat the White Sox 9‑5 on July 24, 2026, after trailing 5‑0. Starter Spencer Arrighetti left after the first inning with right‑foot nerve irritation and was placed on the 15‑day injured list; left‑hander Bryan King was recalled from Triple‑A. Relievers AJ Blubaugh, Kai‑Wei Teng and five others finished the game. Christian Walker supplied a three‑run double and Cam Smith added a two‑run homer, while Jeremy Peña and José Altuve each collected three hits, giving Houston its fourth straight win.

The next day rookie Hunter Brown threw seven shutout innings in a 4‑1 victory, allowing only two hits as Isaac Paredes drove in three runs, extending the winning streak to five games and keeping the club within two games of the AL West lead.

Chicago’s Munetaka Murakami celebrated a bobblehead promotion by hitting two homers, and Taiwan‑born reliever Deng Kai‑wei recorded his fifth win of the season after a two‑inning relief appearance, helping the White Sox maintain their lead in the AL Central.
