Hoerner Shines, But Cubs Fall Short
Chicago second baseman Nico Hoerner had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 9-6, to Chicago at Wrigley Field. Hoerner went 2 for 3 with 2 home runs and 2 walks. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice. Chicago reliever West Tunnell was the winner. His record is now 4-2. Seth Lugo took the loss. Steven Okert nailed down his 2nd save.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Blake Rutherford to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the White Sox on top, 8-6. It was his only hit in 6 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll relax tonight and enjoy this win," said Rutherford.

The third-place White Sox are now 29-33, the Cubs 18-44.
