Pitching <\/span>Dominance <\/span>Highlights <\/span>the <\/span>Victory<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The <\/span>White <\/span>Sox <\/span>pitching <\/span>staff <\/span>was <\/span>once <\/span>again <\/span>the <\/span>key <\/span>to <\/span>their <\/span>success. <\/span>Davis <\/span>Martin<\/span><\/strong> started <\/span>the <\/span>game <\/span>with <\/span>an <\/span>impressive <\/span>four-<\/span>inning <\/span>performance, <\/span>holding <\/span>the <\/span>Cubs <\/span>to <\/span>just <\/span>one <\/span>hit<\/span><\/strong> while <\/span>striking <\/span>out <\/span>four<\/span><\/strong>. <\/span>The <\/span>Cubs\u2019 <\/span>offense <\/span>had <\/span>no <\/span>answer <\/span>for <\/span>Martin, <\/span>who <\/span>was <\/span>a <\/span>step <\/span>ahead <\/span>throughout <\/span>his <\/span>outing. <\/span>After <\/span>a <\/span>brief <\/span>stint <\/span>from <\/span>Jordan <\/span>Hicks<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>who <\/span>threw <\/span>a <\/span>scoreless <\/span>inning<\/span><\/strong> (<\/span>with <\/span>one <\/span>strikeout <\/span>and <\/span>a <\/span>hit <\/span>allowed), <\/span>the <\/span>game <\/span>was <\/span>handed <\/span>over <\/span>to <\/span>Sean <\/span>Newcomb<\/span><\/strong>. <\/span>The <\/span>left-<\/span>hander <\/span>threw <\/span>three <\/span>strong <\/span>innings<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>giving <\/span>up <\/span>two <\/span>unearned <\/span>runs<\/span><\/strong> on <\/span>three <\/span>hits<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>while <\/span>punching <\/span>out <\/span>six <\/span>batters<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, <\/span>Jordan <\/span>Leasure<\/span><\/strong> wrapped <\/span>up <\/span>the <\/span>game <\/span>with <\/span>a <\/span>clean <\/span>scoreless <\/span>inning<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>adding <\/span>two <\/span>strikeouts<\/span><\/strong> to <\/span>secure <\/span>the <\/span>save <\/span>and <\/span>seal <\/span>the <\/span>win <\/span>for <\/span>the <\/span>White <\/span>Sox. <\/span>All <\/span>in <\/span>all, <\/span>it <\/span>was <\/span>a <\/span>well-<\/span>rounded <\/span>performance <\/span>from <\/span>the <\/span>pitching <\/span>staff, <\/span>allowing <\/span>just <\/span>two <\/span>earned <\/span>runs <\/span>while <\/span>striking <\/span>out <\/span>a <\/span>combined <\/span>13 <\/span>Cubs<\/span><\/strong> in <\/span>the <\/span>game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Offensive <\/span>Highlights: <\/span>Korey <\/span>Lee <\/span>and <\/span>Everson <\/span>Pereira <\/span>Lead <\/span>the <\/span>Charge<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

While <\/span>the <\/span>White <\/span>Sox <\/span>pitching <\/span>was <\/span>stellar, <\/span>the <\/span>offense <\/span>didn\u2019t <\/span>leave <\/span>much <\/span>to <\/span>be <\/span>desired. <\/span>Korey <\/span>Lee<\/span><\/strong> played <\/span>a <\/span>pivotal <\/span>role, <\/span>going <\/span>2-<\/span>for-<\/span>2<\/span><\/strong> and <\/span>contributing <\/span>with <\/span>a <\/span>home <\/span>run<\/span><\/strong> and <\/span>an <\/span>RBI <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>second <\/span>inning<\/span><\/strong> to <\/span>give <\/span>the <\/span>White <\/span>Sox <\/span>an <\/span>early <\/span>1-<\/span>0 <\/span>lead. <\/span>Lee\u2019s <\/span>performance <\/span>this <\/span>spring <\/span>has <\/span>been <\/span>nothing <\/span>short <\/span>of <\/span>impressive, <\/span>as <\/span>he <\/span>continues <\/span>to <\/span>shine <\/span>with <\/span>a <\/span>.<\/span>529 <\/span>on-<\/span>base <\/span>percentage<\/span><\/strong> and <\/span>10 <\/span>hits<\/span><\/strong> in <\/span>26 <\/span>at-<\/span>bats<\/span><\/strong>. <\/span>His <\/span>contributions <\/span>have <\/span>made <\/span>him <\/span>an <\/span>increasingly <\/span>important <\/span>piece <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>White <\/span>Sox <\/span>lineup.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>White <\/span>Sox <\/span>added <\/span>another <\/span>run <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>third <\/span>inning <\/span>and <\/span>kept <\/span>chipping <\/span>away <\/span>with <\/span>single <\/span>runs <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>first <\/span>five <\/span>frames. <\/span>But <\/span>the <\/span>Cubs <\/span>didn\u2019t <\/span>go <\/span>quietly. <\/span>They <\/span>managed <\/span>to <\/span>rally <\/span>to <\/span>cut <\/span>the <\/span>White <\/span>Sox <\/span>lead <\/span>to <\/span>3-<\/span>2<\/span><\/strong> in <\/span>the <\/span>sixth <\/span>inning<\/span><\/strong> after <\/span>Jarred <\/span>Kelenic<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>the <\/span>White <\/span>Sox <\/span>center <\/span>fielder, <\/span>made <\/span>two <\/span>costly <\/span>errors <\/span>that <\/span>allowed <\/span>the <\/span>Cubs <\/span>to <\/span>score. <\/span>Kelenic <\/span>has <\/span>shown <\/span>flashes <\/span>of <\/span>his <\/span>potential <\/span>but <\/span>has <\/span>struggled <\/span>with <\/span>consistency <\/span>this <\/span>spring, <\/span>something <\/span>that <\/span>hasn\u2019t <\/span>gone <\/span>unnoticed <\/span>by <\/span>the <\/span>coaching <\/span>staff.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>White <\/span>Sox <\/span>immediately <\/span>responded <\/span>to <\/span>the <\/span>Cubs’ <\/span>brief <\/span>rally <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>sixth. <\/span>Everson <\/span>Pereira<\/span><\/strong> sent <\/span>a <\/span>solo <\/span>shot <\/span>into <\/span>the <\/span>stands, <\/span>pushing <\/span>the <\/span>lead <\/span>back <\/span>to <\/span>4-<\/span>2<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>which <\/span>would <\/span>be <\/span>the <\/span>final <\/span>score. <\/span>Pereira\u2019s <\/span>blast <\/span>was <\/span>a <\/span>reminder <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>White <\/span>Sox’s <\/span>depth <\/span>and <\/span>ability <\/span>to <\/span>hit <\/span>for <\/span>power <\/span>at <\/span>critical <\/span>moments.<\/span><\/p>\n

With <\/span>the <\/span>win, <\/span>the <\/span>White <\/span>Sox <\/span>improved <\/span>their <\/span>spring <\/span>record <\/span>to <\/span>12-<\/span>9<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>while <\/span>the <\/span>Cubs <\/span>fell <\/span>to <\/span>9-<\/span>11<\/span><\/strong>. <\/span>While <\/span>it\u2019s <\/span>still <\/span>early <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>spring, <\/span>the <\/span>White <\/span>Sox <\/span>seem <\/span>to <\/span>be <\/span>clicking <\/span>on <\/span>all <\/span>cylinders, <\/span>with <\/span>strong <\/span>pitching <\/span>and <\/span>timely <\/span>hitting. <\/span>Meanwhile, <\/span>the <\/span>Cubs <\/span>will <\/span>need <\/span>to <\/span>regroup <\/span>and <\/span>find <\/span>their <\/span>offensive <\/span>rhythm <\/span>before <\/span>the <\/span>regular <\/span>season <\/span>begins.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Crosstown<\/p>\n
