2015 Cubs Victories Revisited, July 12: Cubs 3, White Sox 1

After taking two of the first three of a series against the Cardinals, the Cubs lost the last of those games and two straight to the White Sox. So Jake Arrieta's big day, as he threw a complete game and hit a home run, was welcome.

The Cubs went into the break after this game at 47-40, eight games behind the first-place Cardinals and 5½ games behind the second-place Pirates.

Really, you could not possibly ask for a better day at Wrigley Field than everyone had on Sunday.

Perfect weather, and I mean absolute perfection, unlimited sunshine, temperatures in the mid-70s and light winds off Lake Michigan, and that's especially welcome given how awful the weather's been most of the spring and early summer.
