And we are ready for the first pitch of this series, Davis Martin. As Jeremy Pena fouls it off, strike one. >> And for the Astros, if it’s going to happen, it happens at the top with Pena and Alvarez. >> On the ground, it is Moustakas it off. Cole Hamels throw to first, 4-6-3 double play turned.
Got it in and got him to pop it up. It is Chase Moustakas settling underneath. >> string injury. White Sox are 7 and 2 with him back in the lineup. >> Cole Hamels Montgomery steps up, bases loaded, nobody out in this first.
Off the end of the bat into left center field as Spence with the grab. Throw coming home >> [cheering] >> and Sam Antonacci tagging and scoring as the White Sox lead it 1 to nothing. And Eny Peralta pops it up. Infield fly is called. As Altuve with the grab, out number two.
Passed ball hits into the hole in the right field. The windmill is on for Murakami. As a throw home not in time. White Sox a 2 nothing lead. Two balls, two strikes.
And that one’s going to hit Moustakas. And a run will score making it 3 to nothing Sox here in the first inning. >> Two batters in a row plunked. This one produces another run. And he worked on all of those successfully.
>> Popped up. It is Peralta in foul territory with the grab. >> some of the good years. >> And the air to center field, it is Tristan Peters. >> have good talent, not overwhelming talent, and chemistry is a factor.
>> Moncada Jr., he will ground this one back to Davis Martin, the easy flip, and two outs here in the second inning. 16 walks. As this one is driven into left field, Antonachi backpedaling. A one-two-three second inning.
Great start [music] for Davis Martin here tonight. Full count to Antonachi, and he goes down swinging on the fastball. And it’s popped up. As Paredes coming in from third, the wind is really taking this one. Oh, he makes the diving catch.
Unbelievable save there. Pops this one up. Left side of the infield, Paredes. >> Major league pitching is good, and I think just trying to get his eyes, you know, kind of back and get up to speed. >> But, mechanically, you think he’s in a good spot.
It’s just, you know, getting his timing back. >> He’s been terrific this year. >> Threw it by him, strike three. In on the hands, and the air to right field as Braden Montgomery there for the catch. First three innings, [music] Davis Martin looking like his old self.
>> The Athletics, the Angels. And they’re both going to be sellers at the break. >> Keston Hiura pops this one up. And a shallow left field. Another one popped up, and it is to the right side of the infield as Altuve.
And he makes the catch there to end that one going to the bottom of the third in Minnesota. Popped up, Cole Sulser and Montgomery drifting back to the grass. And one down as we start this fourth inning. Fastball popped up down the right field line and it’s Murakami in foul territory and there’s the catch for out number two. 2-2 Ground ball, Murakami gives way backing up for the big hop and the flip in time.
A nice 1-2-3-4 inning. And a challenge from Vasquez as the fastball was called ball three. >> on the call of a ball. >> ABS is powered by T-Mobile. >> Call on field overturned.
Houston has two challenges remaining. >> Popped up, Vasquez gets rid of the mask calling for it in foul territory. And out number two. Lifted in the air as Altuve at second will make the catch to end this fourth inning. Got him with the slider.
There’s the emotion from Davis Martin. And that one gets away as Benintendi will score easily. My draws. A big swing out to left field as Wade Jr. at the wall and he won’t get there.
>> [cheering] >> Montgomery had to hold. He’s going to get waved in. Here’s the relay from Straw. Not in time. Ground ball just past the dive of My draws.
So Alvarez will score as LaMonte Wade Jr. picks up an RBI single, bases stay loaded. Second best ERA in baseball. >> That’s a fair ball down the left field line. It’s trouble.
One will score. Two base way down. And Tanaka she couldn’t get it out cleanly. Here comes the third. A bases clearing double for Christian Walker.
Good sweeper gets a swing and a miss. And there is out number one in this sixth inning. Gavin Smith just on the loads on this one. Tanaka she out the wall. And the Astros have put up six runs in this sixth inning.
And they will take a 6-5 lead off the two-run shot from Smith. Dominguez trying to find the wiped out pitch. One, two. Chopper off the plate. It’s going to be a tough play.
Vargas will not be able to get it. And the inning goes on as the Astros now make it 7-5. At second and Altuve with his RBI single at first. And now the four pitch walk. A run will score.
And the boos are coming down here in Chicago. And that’s going to do it. Eight runs. Woah. And Colby sends this one to the gap in right center field.
It’s going to get down. Smith gets it back in. A stand-up double to start this home half of the sixth. Swing and a miss on that and the lead off double [music] doesn’t come around to score. And the changeup gets him looking called strike three.
2-2 At the knees called strike three. We have a challenge but that pitch looked good. >> Batter is out on the call of a strike. >> ABS powered by T-Mobile >> Yeah, buddy. >> And Brady Montgomery retired for the first time tonight with a strikeout.
One ball, two strikes. Chases the slider strike three. Ooh, nasty pitch on the changeup gets the swing and miss. One ball, two strikes here to Antonelli. Slicer down the line in left field.
And it’s going to get down. And it caroms off the wall as Trammell now gets it back in. A good start, a double for Antonelli. Nasty sweeper out number two. Runner goes and a throw down from Romo not in time.
Stolen base for Trammell. >> He was trying to wipe him out with a big fastball. Missed it low and away and now >> Nobody covering third. And Trammell catches the Sox sleeping. 0-2 This ball is drilled to left field and it’s going to be over the head of Antonelli.
Trammell will score. Can’t Smith with speed, he scores. Nope, they’re going to send the runner back to third it looks like. 0-2 And that one sticks in the glove of Vasquez. Strike three.
1-2 pitch Swing and a miss. And Vasquez throws down to first. That completes the strikeout, and that’s going to do it. White Sox had a 5-0 lead into the sixth inning.
