After stealing Game 1, the White Sox look to advance in matinee matchup against the Astros

Following their first playoff win in five years, the Chicago White Sox continue their American League Wild Card series on Wednesday afternoon as they take on the Houston Astros in Game 2, in search of their first postseason series victory since sweeping the Astros in the World Series back in 2005. Houston finished the regular season 81-81 to claim the AL West title, despite losing nine of their last 15 games, and managed just six hits in Tuesday night’s Game 1 loss. Chicago will send right-hander Jordan Hicks (3-2, 3.94 ERA) to the mound for his fourth career playoff appearance and first since 2023 with the Blue Jays, while the Astros will counter with righty AJ Blubaugh (5-3, 3.66 ERA) in his first start since 2025, after making 64 relief appearances this season.

In Game 1, the bottom third on the White Sox lineup sparked the offense, going 5-for-11 with three runs scored and two RBI’s including a solo home run by shortstop Colson Montgomery, whose fourth-inning blast gave Chicago a commanding 4-0 lead. Montgomery, in his second season in Major League Baseball, had a breakout season in 2026, hitting a career-high 31 home runs and driving in 87 runs, the most runs batted in by a Sox shortstop since Jose Valentin plated 92 runs back in 2000.

Likely AL Most Valuable Player, Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez, went 1-for-4 in the Game 1 loss, singling in the eighth inning as Houston attempted to make a late comeback.
