White Sox strike first in AL wild card, beating Astros 6-3 in Game 1
The White Sox, in the postseason for the first time since 2021, made a remarkable turnaround this year.
In Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series, the Chicago White Sox defeated the Houston Astros 6-3 on Tuesday. Rookie pitcher Hagen Smith pitched a scoreless inning for Chicago, allowing just two hits. White Sox rookie Colson Montgomery hit a solo home run, and Sam Antonacci drove in two runs, contributing to the White Sox's early lead.
The White Sox, in the postseason for the first time since 2021, had never returned to the playoffs after consecutive 100-loss seasons. They beat the Astros for the first time since October 10, 2021. Houston, despite reaching the postseason for the ninth time in the last decade, lost its eighth straight home playoff game. The White Sox will face the Astros again in Game 2 on Wednesday in Houston.
