Game Summary
Chicago White Sox defeated the Chicago Cubs 3-0. The White Sox won behind a dominant outing from José Urquidy, who worked six scoreless innings with eight strikeouts and no walks, and a clean bullpen that included Sean Newcomb, Aaron Civale and Trent Thornton before Grant Taylor closed with a scoreless ninth for the save. Offensively Chicago manufactured small-ball support: Miguel Vargas reached twice and scored two runs (2-3, 2 BB), Andrew Benintendi delivered a sixth-inning RBI single, and Braden Montgomery’s two-run double in the eighth provided the game's insurance. The Cubs managed just two hits and little traffic on the bases as the White Sox pitching staff preserved the shutout.
