Gamethread: Houston at White Sox

Ready for loss #55?

The Astros (33-39) are in town to face the nauseating White Sox. The team is coming up on an incredibly embarrassing 55 losses. While the Astros have been somewhat inconsistent and nearly every starting pitcher, they seem to be putting things in motion now. It’s always the struggling teams that get hot when facing the Sox.

Tonight is also Pride Night, but you would only know that if you listened to the broadcast booth or checked the website. No t-shirts this year, nothing that could stand out or scream allyship, not even the bare minimum. I guess that got tossed aside once Liam Hendriks left.

Jonathan Cannon gets the start tonight and Andrew Benintendi is back from his stint on the injured list.

Framber Valdez gets the start for the Astros. Just last week José Abreu was DFA’d from the team after facing serious setbacks for the last two seasons with the Astros.

You can watch the game on NBC Sports Chicago or listen on ESPN Chicago 1000 or Univision Deportes Radio 1200 AM Chicago. First pitch is 7:10 p.m. CT.
