Andrew Vaughn's clutch 2-run double buoyed a spectacular start by Dylan Cease.
Overcoming one failure after another with runners in scoring position, some sloppy baserunning and a costly wild pitch, the White Sox kept their heads in the game Thursday night and came away with a 3-2 win over the Astros in Houston.
Houston was positioned to make it 11 in a row after Yordan Alvarez scored on Aaron Bummer's wild pitch in the seventh inning to break a scoreless tie. "We were getting guys on and not getting them in," Vaughn said."In that last at-bat I said, 'Hey, I've got to get it done.'" Cease was even better than he was last season, when he finished second in American League Cy Young voting.
