A loss to the White Sox in the first game of this series dropped the Cubs out of first place. This win made their record 52-47, but they still trailed the Brewers by half a game in the N.L. Central.
If you attended Tuesday’s 7-2 Cubs win over the White Sox, you certainly can say you got your entertainment dollar’s worth (as well as a Cubs win).
That one had just about everything: home runs, good Cubs pitching, bad Cubs pitching, warnings issued after five batters were hit by pitches, a couple of team records tied or nearly so, and in the end, the Cubs evened up their set with the South Siders.
