White Sox Tag Astros with 5-1 Loss
Chicago starter Ron Payne pitched well against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. The right-hander led his team to a win, 5-1. Chicago now has a record of 84-45 with the win.

Chicago used a well-timed hit by Joe Reese to capture the win. The second baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the White Sox ahead, 3-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Reese told the Chicago News.
