Astros Defeat White Sox 8-3, Jake Meyers Hits Two Homers

Jake Meyers powered the Houston Astros to an 8-3 win over the Chicago White Sox, tying a franchise record with 13 total bases and driving in seven runs with two home runs, a triple, and a double. Astros starter Hunter Brown overcame a rocky first inning to earn the win, finishing with nine strikeouts over six innings despite allowing three early runs. The White Sox, coming off a rare surge that included a 7-3 win the previous night, initially took a 3-0 lead but could not contain the Astros’ offense. Brown, one of MLB's hottest pitchers, continued his strong season with a 1.22 ERA and has consistently delivered quality starts, contributing to Houston's efforts to end a brief losing streak. The series highlights the Astros' pitching strength and offensive depth, while the White Sox remain reliant on emerging talent like Luis Robert Jr., who recently notched his 500th career hit. Both teams are using the matchup to set the tone for their respective seasons, with Houston aiming to reassert dominance and Chicago seeking momentum.
