Tonight and tomorrow night, the Cubs and White Sox will play a pair of games... call them what you want, “practice” games or “exhibition” games, it will be the first competition either team will have with another ballclub since Summer Camp 2020 began and the first game the Cubs will play against a different team since they defeated the Padres 3-2 back on March 11 in Mesa.
These games won’t count in the 2020 60-game standings (though the two teams will meet six more times during the 60-game schedule). They’ll play at an empty Wrigley Field Sunday night and an empty Guaranteed Rate Field Monday night.
