Just ask the Chicago White Sox.
McCullers pitched seven crisp innings, and the Astros beat the White Sox 7-1 on Friday night in the opener of a weekend series between AL division leaders.
Michael Brantley homered and Myles Straw drove in three runs as the Astros improved to a big league-best 43-22 against teams with a .500 or better record â including a 5-0 mark against the White Sox. Yuli Gurriel added three hits and two RBIs.
âIt seems like they rise to the occasion,â Houston manager Dusty Baker said. âThey know that we re facing good teams, and they love the competition, especially the good pitchers.â
