Chicago White Sox 5 – Chicago Cubs 3

Highlights:  Luis Robert Jr. at less than 100 percent is still a strong choice for the Chicago White Sox.  Robert hit a tiebreaking solo homer in his return to the lineup, and the White Sox beat the Chicago Cubs 5-3 on Tuesday night. The All-Star slugger drove a hanging slider from Julian Merryweather deep to left with two out in the seventh inning, giving the White Sox a 4-3 lead at a packed Wrigley Field. It was Robert’s team-high 32nd homer. Ian Happ and Seiya Suzuki  homered for the North Siders, and Kyle Hendricks pitched six innings of three-run ball. It was the first loss in a breakout season for Merryweather (4-1). Read more at:  https://www.espn.com/mlb/recap/_/gameId/401472808
