We already knew coming into the City Series that the Chicago White Sox were cruising to a division title and the Cubs were starting over after a historic sell-off.
Here are 14 other things we’ve learned after the Sox’s 4-0 win Saturday at Wrigley Field gave them the first two games of the series.
The Sox left-hander entered Saturday having had back-to-back four-inning outings but struck out 11 Cubs and allowed only two hits in five-plus innings before leaving after 89 pitches on a hot, humid afternoon. Rodón wanted to keep pitching.
Rodón’s performance was the most dominant outing by a Sox starter in the City Series since Chris Sale struck out 15 and allowed one hit over seven shutout innings in a 3-1 win on Aug.
