In an emotionally-fueled game, John Lackey did just enough on the mound, and Willson Contreras went deep, as the Chicago Cubs beat Carlos Rodón and the Chicago White Sox Tuesday afternoon 7-2.
Red-hot Willson
It feels like we’re always talking about how hot Willson Contreras is. Well, he didn’t do anything to deny that notion Tuesday.
Another big at-bat came Contreras’ way in the first inning as Contreras took Rodón deep for the 3-run blast. He went 3-for-5 with four RBI. The Cubs lead MLB with 20 home runs in the second-half.
