The White Sox suffered a crushing 9-5 loss to the Astros, undone by a disastrous sixth inning where Davis Martin surrendered eight runs. After dominating early with five scoreless innings and a five-run lead, Martin unraveled as the Astros sent 14 batters to the plate, fueled by Christian Walker’s three-run double and Cam Smith’s two-run homer. Martin admitted the inning was “unacceptable,” blaming his poor command. The Astros’ Spencer Arrighetti exited early with a foot injury, turning the game into a bullpen battle. Despite the loss, rookie Braden Montgomery had his first three-hit game, and slugger Munetaka Murakami showed signs of breaking out of his slump. Prospect Caleb Bonemer was hit in the head by a pitch but appears fine without a concussion, while Jordan Leasure continues rehabbing.
