Jonathan Cannon (2-3) allowed two runs on nine hits with five strikeouts in six innings as the AL-worst White Sox won consecutive home games for the second time this season and improved to 9-23.

White Sox rookie infielder Chase Meidroth singled and scored on a one-out double by Quero for a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Robert, who had reached on a walk was thrown out at the plate on the play. Chicago took a two-run lead in the second when Meidroth's two-out hit scored Bobby Dalbec, who had singled.

Houston got a run back in the fourth on consecutive doubles by Christian Walker and Yainer Diaz.

Robert hit his fifth home run — a two-out solo shot for his 500th career hit — and Quero added an RBI single to make it 4-1 in the fifth.
