Notes
Cam Smith is out of the lineup for Thursday’s matinee as the Astros try to take three of four from the AL Central-leading White Sox. Houston clinched the season series with Wednesday night’s 2-0 victory and enters the finale with a two-game lead over Texas in the AL West and 22 games remaining. Hunter Brown will try to build on Wednesday’s three-hit shutout and give the Astros a little more breathing room in the division race.
