The Chicago Cubs demonstrated their baserunning skills in a decisive 6-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox, completing a three-game City Series sweep. Pete Crow-Armstrong led the charge, hitting a double, and later scoring on Seiya Suzuki's sacrifice fly, contributing to the Cubs’ three-run sixth inning. Vidal Bruján's aggressive running played a crucial role, scoring on a close play at home plate after a review upheld the initial safe call. White Sox manager Will Venable acknowledged the challenges faced by his team, citing poor fielding and tough weather conditions as significant factors in their fourth consecutive defeat.

Despite Miguel Vargas's home run for the Sox, their offensive struggles persisted. The Cubs capitalized on defensive errors from the White Sox, further extending their lead. As the Sox fell to 14-33, they matched the worst start in franchise history, with manager Will Venable emphasizing the need for improved execution moving forward.
