The Cubs were looking to salvage the final game of what had been an ugly series against the White Sox at Wrigley when the two teams met Sunday. Luckily for the home team, starter Yu Darvish was every bit the ace his squad needed to win.
José Abreu hit his sixth homer of the series against Darvish in the 2nd inning, a deep shot to left that turned out to be the only mistake the Cubs starter would make Sunday.
Former Cubs farmhand Dylan Cease outdueled his counterpart early, keeping his former team off the board through five.
