ICYMI: The Houston Astros MASSACRED the Chicago White Sox on Thursday

In case you missed it, the Houston Astros had no mercy on the Chicago White Sox on Thursday afternoon. 

It was 10-0 after four innings, but the Astros decided they weren't done yet.

After nine innings, the final score was 21-5. Four home runs and 25 hits for the Houston Astros on the afternoon.

Everybody got in on the fun, with Alex Bregman racking up four hits, Kyle Tucker with four hits, Christian Vazquez with four hits, Yuli Gurriel with three hits, Chaz McCormick with three hits and a couple other players with multi-hit games. 

The MVP of the game was most definitely Alex Bregman. Bregman went four-for-six, with two home runs, two doubles, six RBIs and four runs scored. Oh, and he also stole his first base of the season. 

The win gives the Houston Astros a 77-43 record, putting them in cruise control of the AL West with an 11.5 game lead over the Seattle Mariners. They also have a ridiculous +155 run differential on the season. 

The Chicago White Sox, on the other hand, are struggling to make the playoffs, the loss giving them a 61-58 record, putting them three-games back of the Toronto Blue Jays for the third AL Wild Card spot.
