The Chicago Cubs returned to their winning ways with a 6-2 victory over the White Sox in the latest City Series matchup at Wrigley Field. The game showcased not only the talent of players but also the fiery emotions of the rivalry. White Sox third baseman Miguel Vargas expressed his frustration after being hit by a pitch from Cubs' Brad Keller, leading to a brief confrontation. While Keller laughed off the incident, Vargas has been on a hot streak, hitting .350 with six home runs in the last month. Meanwhile, Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong highlighted his prowess with a triple and two runs scored.

Despite the Cubs' victory, the Sox's defense faltered with important mistakes, including a poor decision by third base coach Justin Jirschele and a dropped fly ball by Brooks Baldwin. With this loss, the White Sox are left searching for answers as they maintain a disappointing 14-33 record. Cubs manager Craig Counsell confirmed discussions about recalling third baseman Matt Shaw, who has been performing exceptionally well at the Triple-A level. As the City Series continues, both teams will look to improve their standings, with the Cubs aiming for an eighth consecutive win over the Sox.
