Thousands of Chicago Cubs and White Sox fans filled Wrigley Field as both teams squared off for the final time this season as Chris Sale took on veteran right-hander John Lackey. Sale just returned from a five-game suspension following a clubhouse incident that began over a uniform.
Some thought Chris was not going to make the start with former Cubs pitcher Jacob Turner penciled in as a starter at Wrigley Field but plans changed. At first, skipper Joe Maddon was unsure how he was going to approach the White Sox.
