Dansby Swanson went 2-for-3 with two runs and
Cody Bellinger had two RBIs for the Cubs, who swept the two-game
Crosstown Classic series. Hector Neris (6-0) picked up the win
with a scoreless inning of relief.
Corey Julks homered and had two hits and Paul DeJong also went
deep for the White Sox, who tied their record for the
single-season losing streak, a mark set from Aug. 9-26, 1924.
Andrew Vaughn had a double and a single and Nicky Lopez, Gavin
Sheets and Lenyn Sosa also each had two hits for the White Sox,
who lost for the 17th time in their past 18 games.
The White Sox took a 1-0 lead when Julks hammered the first
pitch of the game by Cubs starter Jameson Taillon 408 feet over
the left field bleachers and onto Waveland Avenue for his second
home run.
The Cubs tied it 1-1 in the second. Christopher Morel led off
with a single, stole second, advanced to third on a groundout
and scored on Nico Hoerner's fielder's choice.
The White Sox parlayed six singles into a 5-1 lead in the fourth
with Oscar Colas, Korey Lee, Sosa and Lopez each driving in a
run.
The Cubs cut the deficit to 5-3 in the fifth. Bellinger's
fielder's choice drove in Swanson, who opened the inning with a
single, and Tauchman, who also singled, later scored on a balk
by White Sox starter Erick Fedde.
The Cubs needed just one hit to score three runs while taking a
6-5 lead in the seventh. Swanson was hit by a pitch from
reliever Michael Soroka to open the inning, and Yan Gomes
followed with a walk. Both runners advanced on a balk, and
Swanson scored on a wild pitch on ball four to Tauchman. Gomes
later scored on a sacrifice fly by Bellinger off of Jared
Shuster, and Tauchman came home on a broken-bat single by Ian
Happ.
DeJong then led off the eighth with his 10th home run, off
Hayden Wesneski, to tie it 6-6 and set the stage for Tauchman's
dramatic game-winner.
