The Chicago White Sox completed a sweep of the Houston Astros with a 7-3 victory on Wednesday, marking their first playoff series win since the 2005 World Series triumph over the same opponent, according to ESPN.

The game saw the White Sox outscore the Astros in both halves, with Chicago’s offense delivering a steady stream of runs while the defense held Houston to a single run in the second inning. The win was secured by a combination of timely hitting and a disciplined pitching performance that limited the Astros’ offensive opportunities.

This victory is historically significant for the White Sox, who have not won a playoff series since 2005. The 2005 World Series win over Houston remains a high point in the franchise’s recent history, and the sweep of the Astros echoes that achievement, underscoring the team’s resurgence in postseason play.

Looking ahead, the White Sox will enter the next round of the playoffs with renewed confidence. Their success against a formidable Astros squad suggests they have the talent and momentum to compete for a deeper postseason run.
