White Sox 3, Cubs 1: Eloy’s coming

I do not want to hear one single word this morning about the trade that sent Eloy Jimenez, among others, to the White Sox two years ago for Jose Quintana.
Because no, two years ago you did not know that Jimenez would hit a two-run homer at Wrigley Field to defeat the Cubs 3-1 in the very first game he played against the team that originally signed him.
The guy has talent. Stipulation granted. I am much more concerned today about two other things:
Why could the Cubs not score more than one run off a guy who had posted a 6.27 ERA and allowed seven home runs in 33 innings in his six starts previous to this one?
