A stinker of a day for Chicago baseball teams yesterday. Cubs bullpen blows it and the White Sox went a whole series without an extra base hit and get swept! Cubs travel to Cincy and the A's roll into town to face the Sox tonig#Cubs##whitesoxt#mlbbhighlightsights
**SOX DROP ANOTHER TO BOSTON, 5-0. SERIES GOES TO THE RED SOX.**![]()
![]()
Well, South Side. That one hurt in a way that's harder to explain than a blowout. Red Sox 5, White Sox 0, and the ugly part isn't even the score — it's that our offense went quiet for a run of five straight innings while Boston's bullpen just mowed us down like it was nothing.![]()
![]()
**Davis Martin's slide continues**![]()
![]()
Let's start here because it's the story of the night. Davis Martin — the guy who was our first-half MVP, no argument — has now gone five straight starts without a win. Tonight he was cruising early, set the Red Sox down in order the first two innings, looked like the ace we know. Then the third and fourth innings happened: five runs on six hits, three walks, and a wild pitch that let a run score on top of it. That's not one bad pitch. That's a start unraveling in real time, and it's the kind of thing that should worry this coaching staff heading into the second half. Martin's stuff is there. Something else isn't.![]()

**Bennett shut us down cold**![]()
![]()
Credit where it's due, and it pains me to give it: Jake Bennett was terrific. Seven shutout innings, four hits, four strikeouts, one walk. Rookie lefty, first time seeing our lineup, and he had an answer for everybody. Weissert and Morán came in and finished the job, and between the three of them, Boston retired 13 batters in a row at one stretch. Our offense put exactly one runner on base over the final five innings. One. That's not a slump, that's a shutdown, and it's the kind of night that makes you go back and look at this lineup's approach with runners in scoring position.![]()

**The bigger picture**![]()
![]()
This wasn't just a loss — it snapped something. We'd won 10 straight home series on the South Side. Ten. Hadn't dropped a series at Rate Field since late April against Washington, and even those two losses went extra innings. Boston came in and took this one clean, and now they've won five in a row, 10 of their last 12, clawing back toward .500 like a team that suddenly remembered how to play. Good for them, I guess. Doesn't make it sting less watching it happen in our building.![]()

**Where we go from here**![]()
![]()
23,973 people showed up on the South Side on a Wednesday night to watch this team, and that's the part that never stops meaning something to me. This organization owes those people better than watching a five-start winless streak from a guy who was lights-out in April and May. The rebuild's foundation is still there — the lineup has shown it can hit, the bullpen's had its moments — but nights like this are a reminder that "first in the AL Central" doesn't mean the work is done. Not close.![]()

Get back at it tomorrow afternoon. Series finale, Sandoval making his Red Sox debut against us — let's not make his day easy.![]()

Cubs 9, Orioles 7 — PCA Goes Deep Twice, Suzuki Blows the Roof Off, Bullpen Nearly Blows the Lead![]()
![]()
Final from Camden Yards: **Cubs 9, Orioles 7.** Eighteen combined runs, five lead changes worth of tension, and a finish that had no business being that close. Welcome to July baseball, folks.![]()
![]()
**Pete Crow-Armstrong** is the story again. Two home runs — a 370-foot shot to right in the 3rd, then a 419-foot blast to right-center in the 5th — plus 2 RBI and 3 runs scored on a 2-for-4 night. This kid is legitimately doing things right now.![]()
![]()
Colin Rea got the win (7-5) despite a shaky final line — 5.1 innings, 7 hits, 3 earned runs, 2 walks, 2 strikeouts. He kept the Cubs in it long enough for the offense to take over, and boy did it. Down 1-3 after Pete Alonso's two-run shot in the 4th, Chicago answered with back-to-back-to-back power: **Michael Conforto** homered to right in the 5th, **Carson Kelly** followed with one to left, and then Crow-Armstrong's second bomb of the night put the Cubs up 4-3. That's three straight long balls to flip a game.![]()
![]()
Then came the 7th inning, and this is where it got fun. A Bregman sac fly, an Anderson Wolfram wild pitch that let two more runs score, and then **Seiya Suzuki** put an exclamation point on the whole thing with a three-run homer to left — 401 feet, Crow-Armstrong and Michael Busch both scoring. That made it 9-3, and if the story ended there, this is a laugher.![]()
![]()
It did not end there. **Tyler O'Neill** — pinch-hitting for Colton Cowser — hit a two-run shot in that same 7th to cut it to 9-4, then added a second homer, a 433-foot missile, off Caleb Thielbar in the 8th. Christian Mayo, pinch-hitting for Dylan Beavers, also went deep in the 8th. Suddenly a laugher was 9-7 with the Orioles' 3-4-5 hitters doing real damage against Chicago's bullpen — Dylan Pomeranz and Thielbar combined to allow four earned runs and three home runs in just 2.1 innings of "relief."![]()
![]()
Jordan Webb came in for the 9th and needed exactly nine pitches to shut the door — his 4th save of the year, and mercifully a clean one.![]()
![]()
**The stuff that matters:** Cubs move to 52-40, 6.5 games back of Milwaukee in the NL Central, and this is their third straight win. Chicago's now taken the first two games of this series and has clinched the season series 2-0 over Baltimore with a chance at the sweep tomorrow night.![]()
![]()
My honest take: I love this offense right now — five different guys with extra-base power in one game is not normal. But that bullpen giving up four homers to a last-place lineup is a real problem heading into the stretch run, and if Pomeranz and Thielbar keep leaking runs like that, Counsell's going to have some hard calls to make before the deadline.![]()
![]()
Go get the sweep tomorrow. Go Cubs. 🐻🔵
Independence Day, First Place: Sox Grind Out 3-1 Win in Cleveland![]()
![]()
Nothing says the Fourth of July like taking back what's yours. While the rest of the country was watching fireworks, the White Sox lit their own off the bat of Colson Montgomery — and reclaimed first place in the AL Central in the process. This is what South Side baseball looks like when it's played right.![]()

**The Story of the Game**![]()
![]()
Cleveland had won the first two of this series on walk-off hits. Two nights of gut-punches. Two nights of watching the Guardians celebrate on our dime. Saturday, the Sox didn't blink.![]()
![]()
Sean Burke was the story for seven innings — a career-high 11 strikeouts, zero walks, going toe-to-toe with a Guardians rookie who's now an All-Star. That's pitching. That's the stuff this organization used to be built on, back when Buehrle worked fast and threw strikes and didn't need triple-digit heat to get outs. Burke gave up one run all night — a solo shot to Austin Hedges in the fifth — and that was it. Everything else, he handled himself.![]()
![]()
Miguel Vargas set the tone early, scoring on a Montgomery double in the first. Then Cleveland tied it in the fifth, and it sat there — 1-1 — deep into the game, the kind of grinding, low-scoring, pitcher's-duel baseball that either breaks your heart or rewards your patience.![]()
![]()
It rewarded the patience.![]()

Eighth inning. Montgomery — the same guy who doubled home the first run — turns on a Tim Herrin pitch and sends it 402 feet to center. Go-ahead homer, his 22nd of the year, tops among shortstops in baseball. Fitting that it fell on the one-year anniversary of his big-league debut. Vargas added an insurance run in the ninth with a sac fly. Brandon Eisert threw two clean relief innings for the win, and Grant Taylor closed it out for his third save — some measure of payback after Friday's walk-off gut-punch.![]()
![]()
**What It Means**![]()
![]()
Sox are 46-42. First place — by percentage points, sure, but first place is first place, and we'll take it after getting walked off twice in a row. Vargas is your lone All-Star rep this year, and on a night like this, you saw exactly why — professional at-bats, timely production, first baseman doing first baseman things.![]()
![]()
No sugarcoating the series, though — Cleveland's bullpen beat us up in Games 1 and 2, and Cooper Ingle's still out there in left field trying to give away ballgames. We took advantage tonight. Good teams do that.![]()
![]()
Fedde goes tomorrow against Bibee to try to take the series. One game at a time. That's the South Side way — no parades for July wins, just respect for a team that competed on the road, on a holiday, against a first-place club, and came out standing.![]()

Go Sox. 🇺🇸⚾
📋 **GAME RECAP — Cardinals 17, Cubs 1**![]()
![]()
Five in a row. That's what Chicago walked into Wrigley with today, and let's be honest, it felt like this team could do no wrong. Fifteen wins in nineteen games. Swanson hitting like it's 1930 and he's Lou Gehrig reincarnated. The Friendly Confines were buzzing.![]()
![]()
Then the Cardinals showed up and ripped the good vibes right out of our hands. 17-1. Write it down, put it on the fridge, remind yourself in September why this game humbles everybody.![]()
![]()
David Peterson had absolutely nothing. Nine hits, ten earned runs — a career high, and not the good kind — in three and two-thirds innings. Nathan Church took him deep for a three-run shot in the second, and by the time Masyn Winn added his own three-run bomb, this game was already dead. The Cardinals piled up 17 hits as a team. Seventeen. That's not a loss, that's a full-blown mugging on Addison Street.![]()
![]()
Andre Pallante, meanwhile, made our lineup look like a JV squad — five hits, one walk over 5⅔ innings. Alex Bregman's double in the seventh was the lone bright spot, our only run of the entire afternoon. One run at Wrigley. The wind off the lake couldn't even help us today.![]()
![]()
Look, I've watched this franchise claw through 108 years of heartbreak to get to 2016. I know what a bad Friday looks like, and I know it doesn't define a season. This Cubs team is still 49-39, still very much alive in the Central race behind Milwaukee. But today stings because it snapped a five-game streak in the ugliest way possible, in front of our own fans, against the rival we least want to hand a laugher.![]()
![]()
Tip your cap to St. Louis. Then flush it. Imanaga's on the mound tomorrow, and this team needs to remind everybody — including themselves — who they are.![]()

Go Cubs. 🐻💙

David Peterson just gave up 10 earned runs at Wrigley. TEN. Career high, and not the kind you frame.
17-1. Cardinals put up 17 hits. We put up one run on a Bregman double.
Five-game win streak, gone in an afternoon. Flush it. Imanaga tomorrow. 🐻💙
#Cubs #WrigleyField
Built a 5-2 lead. Ten hits. Martin dealing. Then the pen coughed it up and Cleveland walked it off in the 9th. Bats showed up, arms didn't finish it. Division game, gone. Hurts extra on the South Side. On to tomorrow. Go Sox. ⚫⚪ #Southside #WhiteSox
