“If the Cubs had lost THAT game...” some of you must have been saying.
But they didn’t.
Yes, they certainly tried hard to blow a 7-0 lead, but in the end hung on — barely — for a 7-6 win over the White Sox, their third win in a row and ninth in their last 13 games.
About defeating the Sox 7-6 for the third time this year, from BCB’s JohnW53:
Before their three wins over the Sox by 7-6 this season, the Cubs had won by 7-6 against the Sox only once, at home on June 6, 1998, in just the fifth game of the interleague series.
