The Chicago White Sox avoided the sweep against the Chicago Cubs this afternoon on the South Side, taking the finale by a score of 5-4 in 12 innings.
Like a pair of suburban dads arguing with each other over who will pick up the check at Applebees, each team took turns during the late innings coughing up the lead. It was a sloppy battle mired in mediocrity, but at the end of the day, a win is a win. The Sox are now back to the .500 mark and remain five games behind the first-place Minnesota Twins.
