Velázquez Delivers Again for Astros | Houston Astros News

Nelson Velázquez delivered the clutch two-run single in the eighth inning, breaking a scoreless tie and leading the Astros to a 2-0 win over the White Sox — his second go-ahead hit in three games against them. After a shaky offensive start, the Astros capitalized on key baserunning and strong pitching from Hayden Wesneski (7 innings, 1 hit) to seize control. The bullpen, led by AJ Blubaugh’s dramatic escape from a bases-loaded jam, sealed the victory. With the AL West lead extended to two games and just 22 left in the season, this win underscores the Astros’ grit under pressure and their serious push for the postseason.
