Strong Start by Brown
Hunter Brown delivered a pivotal performance for the Houston Astros, pitching six innings while allowing two earned runs and striking out seven batters. His outing included two walks but featured enough dominance to keep the Chicago White Sox offense in check during his time on the mound. Brown secured the win, improving his record to 5-3 on the season.
