Great Effort by White Sox 3B Evans Not Enough in 11-9 Loss
The Houston Astros weathered an outstanding game by Chicago (A) third baseman Darrell Evans to topple the White Sox, 11-9. Evans went 3-3 with a home run, 2 triples, and 2 walks. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. Houston reliever George Frazier picked up the win, upping his record to 1-1. Hiroki Kuroda absorbed the loss. Blake Parker closed it out for his 5th save.

Houston used a clutch at-bat from Joe Orsulak to capture the win. The center fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Astros ahead, 8-5. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Wild game," said Orsulak after it ended.

Losses have been rare for the White Sox, who are now 11-3.
