Season series: First meeting; Cubs won 3-1 last season
Chicago baseball is in a serious rut. The White Sox season is depressing to watch, and they’re currently on an 11-game losing streak. The White Sox lost 6-3 at the Milwaukee Brewers Sunday despite scoring 2 runs in the top of the 1st inning. It could have been worse, as the Brewers left 6 men on base, while the White Sox left 4.
The Cubs, after a strong start to the season, have lost 8 of their last 10 games and are below .500. They fell 5-2 to the Cincinnati Reds in Chicago Sunday. They had given up 5 runs by the 3rd inning and left 9 runners on base, compared to the Reds’ 6.
