Cubs 5, White Sox 4: You keep me hangin’ on

Hey, look! Nico Hoerner made a really smart defensive play and had a pair of hits and a walk.
And the Cubs took a 5-1 lead into the eighth inning, but had to win a nail-biter after Daniel Palencia hit a batter with two out in the ninth.
Nevertheless, Palencia persevered, and the Cubs defeated the White Sox 5-4, winning the series and maintaining a first-place tie with the Brewers, who came from behind to beat the Marlins. (We should still thank the Marlins for taking two of three in Milwaukee.)
