White SoxHOUSTON (AP) – Dallas Keuchel struck out a career-high 11 and pitched a four-hitter, leading the Houston Astros over the Chicago White Sox 3-0 yesterday.
Keuchel (7-1) pitched his second career shutout and first since May 13, 2014. He didn’t walk a batter and finished with a 1.76 ERA after throwing his eighth complete game overall.

The Astros improved to 31-19, tying the 1998 team that won a franchise-high 102 times for the best 50-game start in team history.
