It doesn't count in the standings, but the Chicago White Sox have temporary bragging rights in the Windy City.
The White Sox defeated the Chicago Cubs 7-3 in Sunday's exhibition at Wrigley Field as both teams gear up for what promises to be an unusual season with just 60 games after play was suspended during spring training because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The South Siders did most of their damage in the fifth inning, exploding for six runs and taking advantage of the Cubs' bullpen after starter Kyle Hendricks exited. Hendricks, who will start Opening Day on Friday for the home team, was credited with three earned runs in 4.
