Crosstown Classic ends in second consecutive 2-2 tie, Sox take cup
The Associated PressThe Chicago White Sox pose with the Crosstown Classic cup after a 3-0 win over the Cubs on Tuesday. The clubs split the annual series 2-2.
As a result, the White Sox retain the coveted Crosstown Cup for the third consecutive year. The teams split the series last year in the same fashion as they did this, with both teams winning two, and the White Sox won three out of four games in 2014. The Sox won the first two games of the series, including their third-straight walk-off win in two days, on Monday, before the Cubs came back and won the final two games of the series at home. The Cubs outscored the Sox 15-10 in the series, in big part to a 8-1 routing on Wednesday.
