By admin — In News — July 25, 2026

   ​The Astros look to take the series tonight against the White Sox at Rate Field. Hunter Brown takes the mound against White Sox right handed pitcher Sean Burke.The Astros are riding a four game winning streak after last night’s wild comeback, and are looking to be on their way to one of their longest winning streaks of the season.Here is a look at Saturday night’s pitching matchup:Hunter BrownBrown is currently 1-1 with a 4.05 ERA, and 43 SO since returning from the IL, per MLB.Brown missed over two months with a right shoulder strain and has been working his way back into form since returning in June. He has had some command issues in recent starts including a career high five walks against the Rangers.The Astros need him to be sharp tonight and give them length after the bullpen was taxed last night, after Arrighetti left the game after just one inning due to right foot nerve irritation.With Arrighetti leaving early last night the bullpen worked hard, Brown needs to go deep.Sean BurkeBurke is currently 7-4 with a 3.20 ERA and 120 SO, per MLB. He posted a 1.44 ERA over his last four starts, as hot as any pitcher in baseball right now. This is a tough matchup for the Astros on the road. Burke has not lost since June 13th against the Dodgers and has been one of the most underrated pitchers in the AL this season.The Astros are 51-54 and riding momentum, and the White Sox are 54-48 and lead the AL Central.Chicago is 31-18 at home, one of the best home records in baseball, and the ever so struggling Astros gave them a run for their money Friday night. The Astros are two games back in the AL West and five straight wins would make a real statement heading into the second half stretch run. A win tonight would give the Astros a five game winning streak, tying their season high set back in March. A series win and a five game winning streak tonight would be huge for Houston.Brown needs to be the story tonight after Arrighetti’s early exit last night. The Astros have the offense to win but need length from their starter. A series win would keep the momentum rolling and keep them a relevant competitor in the AL West race.
