Houston parlayed a decent outing from starter Greg Connolly into a solid win over the Chicago White Sox. The final score was 5-3. Erling Moreno recorded his 5th save for Houston. Chicago is 10-11 after the defeat.

Houston second baseman Jorge Gonzáles contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the second. With two down, he hit a changeup to center field for a 2-run single. It was his 11th hit of the season and put the Astros ahead, 3-0.

"Nice win for us," said Gonzáles. "Now we'll go after the next one."
