Notes
The Astros are already facing elimination after dropping Game 1 of the Wild Card Series, so their season is now in Hunter Brown’s hands. Houston makes two changes from Tuesday’s lineup: Yordan Alvarez moves from DH to left field as Isaac Paredes takes over at DH, while Nick Allen starts at third base in place of Taylor Trammell. Brown gets the ball against White Sox right-hander Sean Burke as the Astros try to keep their season alive and force a decisive Game 3 Thursday.
