Monday, July 19, 2021

(CHICAGO) - Carlos Rodón allowed one hit through seven dominant innings, Yoán Moncada and Tim Anderson hit solo homers as the Chicago White Sox topped the Houston Astros 4-0 on Sunday. LINKC. Danny Mendick and Adam Engel added RBI singles, and the White Sox stymied Astros hitters for the second straight game after losing their first five this season to Houston, and being outscored 34-9 in those contests. Chicago has won seven of eight to move to the top of the American League standings. Abraham Toro's sharp single past Mendick at second in the third inning was the only hit off Rodón (8-3) and accounted for Houston's only baserunner. The big left-hander struck out 10 in this meeting of division leaders. Liam Hendriks finished with a 1-2-3 ninth to complete the combined one-hitter. Framber Valdez (5-2) yielded four runs and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings, striking out four and walking two. Rodon reached double digits in strikeouts for the fourth time this season and 11th time in his career.
