Chris Sale went the distance and the White Sox avoided a three-game sweep with a 2-1 win over the Astros. Sale struck out nine en route to improving to 9-and-0. Sale is the first White Sox pitcher to win each of his first nine starts since 1919. Jerry Sands and Alex Avila plated a run apiece to help Chicago stop a four-game skid.
Evan Gattis belted a solo homer for Houston. Collin McHugh allowed both runs in seven innings to fall to 4-and-4.
The White Sox will be a home tonight as they play Kansas City. The Pre-Game Show begins at 6:35 on Newstalk 1060 in Game 1 of the 3-game series.
