White Sox aim for their 1st 3-game sweep of the Cubs at Wrigley Field since 2012

The Jose Abreu-led Chicago White Sox will try to complete a three-game sweep at Wrigley Field when they face the Cubs.

Abreu has hit five home runs in the first two games of this series, in which the Sox have outscored the Cubs 17-5. Abreu is 2-for-3 lifetime against Cubs starter Yu Darvish with one home run.

Nico Hoerner will make his second career start at third base for the Cubs, who placed slugger Kris Bryant on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Aug. 19, because of a sore left wrist.
