Astros Lose, 6-1, at Guaranteed Rate Field
The Chicago White Sox got a stellar performance from pitcher Rubby De La Rosa, who handcuffed the Houston offense en route to a 6-1 win at Guaranteed Rate Field. Jose Alvarado closed the game out for Chicago, earning his 1st save. The Astros fall to 10-12 and continue their wobbly start to the 2018 season.

Jonathan Lucroy, who is tied for 6th in the AL with a .614 slugging percentage, aided the Chicago cause with a 2-run triple in the bottom of the second. For the game, the catcher was 2-3 with a triple. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

De La Rosa attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
