CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Ian Happ and Matt Shaw homered in the seventh inning, helping Cade Horton and the Chicago Cubs beat the Chicago White Sox 6-1 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There was no score when Happ’s one-out shot off Jordan Leasure (3-6) went just over the wall in right-center for his 14th homer. Nico Hoerner hit a two-out single ahead of Shaw’s drive over the home bullpen in left.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Shaw also walked with the bases loaded in the eighth. The rookie is batting .478 (11 for 23) with four homers and nine RBIs during an eight-game hitting streak since the All-Star break.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Cubs (61-43) moved into a tie for the NL Central lead with Milwaukee, which lost 7-4 to Miami. They had dropped four of five, including a 12-5 loss to the last-place White Sox on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The White Sox played without center fielder Luis Robert Jr. for the second straight game. Robert is dealing with some adductor soreness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The South Siders had been on a tear since the break, outscoring opponents 61-28 while winning six of seven. But they were shut down by Horton (4-3) and three relievers.<\/p>\n

\n

Horton pitched 6 1\/3 innings of four-hit ball in his first win since June 3. The right-hander tossed 5 2\/3 scoreless innings in a no-decision against Boston in his previous start.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Cubs were working on a shutout before Mike Tauchman homered in the ninth against Ryan Pressly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The White Sox wasted a sharp performance by Aaron Civale, who struck out six in five innings at Rate Field. The right-hander threw 69 pitches, 47 for strikes.<\/p>\n
