  "account": "The White Sox suffered a hard loss to the Houston Astros in the first game of a four-game series. Things looked promising at first, with Anthony Kay's base path trouble leading to runners on second and third, but a fly out to Sam Antonacci ended any chance of further damage. The White Sox even tied the score 1-1, with Colson Montgomery's double in the fourth inning. However, a string of errors and walks allowed Houston to build a substantial lead. The White Sox' offense faltered, accumulating 10 walks but only two runs scored. With two outs in the ninth inning, Colson Montgomery hit a home run to trim the deficit to 6-3, but it was too little too late. Trevor Richards' strong pitching helped Houston secure the win, while Tyler Davis delivered a strong performance in relief. The White Sox' Colson Montgomery finished the game with an impressive performance, recording two runs, two hits, a home run, one RBI, and two bases on balls.",
