In a thrilling matchup, Luis Robert Jr. played a pivotal role in the Chicago White Sox's 5-4 victory over the Houston Astros, marking a significant win as it was the White Sox's first series victory against the Astros since July 2021. The game, which was cut short to seven innings due to rain, saw Robert tie the game with a clutch RBI single, then steal second base and score the go-ahead run on Edgar Quero's single.

Chicago had struggled earlier in the season, particularly with runners in scoring position, ranked 30th in the majors. However, they showed resilience by going 4 for 13 with runners in scoring position on this day, ultimately sealing their win. Reliever Mike Vasil earned his first career win, holding the Astros without a hit in 2 1/3 innings, while Lance McCullers Jr. made his long-awaited return to the mound for Houston after a two-season hiatus.
