<p>HOUSTON – The White Sox offense didn’t do much in Wednesday night’s 2-0 loss to the Astros, but the way things unraveled after <b>Tristan Peters</b>’ eighth-inning leadoff triple made a three-hit shutout still go down as a game defined by mistakes.</p><p><b>Drew Romo </b>walked after Peters’ triple drew the Astros infield in, with the game still scoreless. Despite <b>Sam Antonacci</b> grounding directly to shortstop <b>Jeremy Peña</b>, Peters ran home after a brief hesitation, and was out by several steps. After a longer than usual postgame wait, <b>Will Venable</b> defended Peters and his players, with slight critiques.</p><p>“Maybe you try and get into a rundown there, but [he’s] trying to stay out of the double play,” Venable said. “Tristan did the right thing by going and obviously [we] just weren't able to advance the backside runners."</p><p><b>Munetaka Murakami</b> followed by lacing a single to right, but Romo’s late read on the liner kept him from advancing past third.</p><p>“If that ball is hit right at him and I take off running without looking, then it’s a double play and you are asking me the same question,” Romo said.</p><p>Venable acknowledged the poor read while defending Romo’s baserunning acumen, but should he still have been in the game at all?</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center><div class="Enhancement-item">

</div></div><p>Speedsters <b>Brenton Doyle</b> and <b>Luisangel Acuña</b> were both available to pinch-run and backup catcher <b>Jake Rogers</b> could have subbed in for them afterward. Venable said that was discussed, but not employed.</p><p>“He's catching a shutout there,” Venable said of Romo. “If you go back, probably would have chose to do it.”</p><p>After <b>Miguel Vargas</b> grounded into a double play to end the threat, the Astros plated the decisive runs in the eighth, aided by two more frustrating mistakes.</p><p><b>A Yordan Alvarez grounder deflected off Chase Meidroth's glove for a leadoff single</b>, and <b>Sean Newcomb</b> bounced a two-strike pitch between <b>Jose Altuve</b>’s legs that was ruled a hit-by-pitch to load the bases, and held up on review despite the Sox feeling they had clear evidence.</p><p>With Newcomb dominating right-handers all year, Venable had no misgivings about letting him face <b>Nelson Velazquez</b> a second time, even after his two-run single. The inning already offered plenty of material for second-guessing as is.</p><p><b>From opening day starter to Triple-A reliever</b></p><p><b>Shane Smith</b>’s last two outings with Triple-A Charlotte have been in relief, as the White Sox abandon notions of restoring his place in the rotation this year. Those outings have also both been scoreless.</p><p>“He's an option,” Venable said of Smith’s chances of contributing to the major league bullpen. “I think he looks really good.”</p><p><b>Brazoban begins rehab</b></p><p>Eight days after being placed on the injured list with a strained left lat, right-handed reliever <b>Huascar Brazoban</b> began a Triple-A rehab assignment on Wednesday with a scoreless inning.</p><p>That normally would suggest a swift return for an important White Sox trade-deadline acquisition, but Brazoban allowed six runs in his last five innings before his injury, and the Sox want to see a return to form before he’s activated.</p><p><b>Bush and Berroa update</b></p><p>After both underwent Tommy John surgery in spring 2025, <b>Ky Bush </b>and <b>Prelander Berroa</b> have also been sidelined all this year with setbacks in their rehab process.</p><p>Bush is officially done for the season due to a left lat strain, while Berroa will throw off a mound again next week for the first time since May.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><div class="PageListL" data-module data-hide-authors="true" data-hide-categories="true" data-hide-dates="true" data-show-loadmore="true"
