The Houston Astros erased a five-run deficit to defeat the Chicago White Sox 9-5, powered by an eight-run sixth inning highlighted by Christian Walker’s bases-clearing double and Cam Smith’s go-ahead homer, with Yordan Alvarez and Jeremy Peña contributing key hits throughout the game. Houston’s bullpen, including AJ Blubaugh and Kai-Wei Teng, preserved the lead after starter Spencer Arrighetti exited early with nerve irritation, while the White Sox threatened early but couldn’t hold off the Astros’ late surge.
