Ben Brown pitched five effective innings, Pete Crow-Armstrong drove in two runs and the Chicago Cubs topped the Chicago White Sox 5-4 on Sunday. Nico Hoerner added two hits and a key defensive play as the Cubs won the rubber game in the weekend set. The North Siders went 5-1 in the season series against the South Siders.

Ian Happ and Matt Shaw homered in the seventh inning, helping Cade Horton and the Chicago Cubs beat the Chicago White Sox 6-1

The Cubs offense came out flat against Adrian Houser — who, I hope, might be in the Cubs rotation next week — and Shōta Imanaga got hit early and often and the Cubs got blown out 12-5 by the White Sox in a game that wasn’t nearly as “close” as that seven-run deficit indicates.
