Ian Happ, Cody Bellinger, Isaac Paredes, and Nico Hoerner hit home runs for the Cubs, surging to a 7-0 lead but struggled to maintain it. The White Sox, driven by Andrew Benintendi's homers, nearly caught up, but Cubs' Héctor Neris secured the win with a critical save.
The White Sox, now 28-90 and setting a franchise-worst record, showed resilience after firing their manager and falling behind 7-0. Cubs had to fight to secure their seventh win in nine games despite the White Sox's fierce comeback attempt.
Cubs' Bellinger may return to the outfield soon after being the designated hitter multiple times following his July 30 return. The intense game highlighted the White Sox's struggle, with new manager Sizemore leading them after Pedro Grifol's recent firing.
