Six Pack of Stats: Cubs 5, White Sox 1
To make matters worse, this game was also boring.The White Sox already won the Crosstown Series. Life is meaningless and baseball is dumb. Shall we break down this game?
The Starters
Johnny Cueto had a less than ideal start, getting roughed up by Cubs hitters and allowing five hits and three earned runs. It took until the third inning before he could achieve a 1-2-3 inning. Unfortunately, Cueto struggled immediately in the fourth, only to be saved from a bases-loaded situation by a throw to first. Thankfully, the trouble seemed to dissipate and Cueto only allowed one more hit with efficient pitch counts, until Tony La Russa sent him out to rot in the seventh.
