It's September 2nd, from daily matchups to big moments, this is MLB News Today, powered by AI. Colson Montgomery was the man of the hour Tuesday night, driving in two runs and getting two hits to help the Chicago White Sox take down the Houston. Asheros, the final score was 5-1. Sean Burke pitched a solid game for the White Sox, going 5-2-3rds innings without giving up a run. He only allowed one hit and struck out six batters, a much better outing than his last start. This loss is a tough one for the Astros. It shrinks their lead in the AL West to just one game over the Texas Rangers, who won their game. Every game counts this late in the season. The White Sox got on the board first in the fifth inning, thanks to an RBI single. Then Montgomery's double cleared the bases to make it 3-Zip. Later, Randall Gritchick added a 2-run double to extend the lead. The Astros finally got on the board in the eighth with a solo homer, but that was all they could manage. The series continues tonight with the White Sox, sending Davis Martin to the mound against
Houston's Hayden-Wazneski. It's shaping up to be a tight matchup as both teams battle for position.
