Despite producing a solid outing Monday, Astros pitcher Lance McCullers received the loss during Monday's 3-1 loss to the White Sox.
McCullers (2-1) allowed three runs on four hits over seven innings of work. He also struck out seven and walked none. His biggest mistake was giving up a two-run home run to Avisail Garcia in the fourth inning.
Prior to Monday's outing, McCullers had given up a total of six runs in his first four starts this season. His next expected start is scheduled for Saturday against the Mariners.
