Astros Use 5-Run 7th Inning to Power Past White Sox, Take 2-0 ALDS Lead

The Houston Astros have taken a commanding 2-0 lead in the American League Division Series after a 9-4 Game 2 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday.

With the game tied 4-4 in the seventh, the Astros came through with a five-run inning to blow the game open.

Kyle Tucker had the biggest hit with a two-run home run, finishing with three RBI in the game. Carlos Correa and Yuli Gurriel also stepped up with two RBI each in the win.

Neither starting pitcher factored in the decision as Lucas Giolito and Framber Valdez each allowed four runs while exiting in the fifth inning.
