White Sox beat Cubs 5-4 on Saladino’s single

First pitch for tonight’s series opener is set for 7:10 p.m. central time and will air live on ABC 7, 670 The Score.

RHP Miguel Gonzalez (2-5, 4.41 ERA) is scheduled to start Monday when the White Sox host the Chicago Cubs. The White Sox look to continue their hot streak Tuesday against the visiting Chicago Cubs, who will have fire-balling closer Aroldis Chapman at their disposal for the second of a four-game series.

“It just really came down to that one pitch and not being able to execute it like I wanted to”, he said. “Got to be smarter, especially coming to extra innings, you know they’re looking to get fastballs in the zone”.

The Cubs trailed 4-2 before Dexter Fowler and Anthony Rizzo each hit an RBI single in the ninth.

Dan Jennings (4-2) got two outs for the victory.

Montgomery, who was acquired from the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday, has allowed runs in his first two appearances with the Cubs. Saladino followed with a bouncer into center field to bring in the winning run.

Tyler Saladino drove in J.B. Shuck to give the White Sox three straight walk-off wins for the first time since 1962.

Manager Robin Ventura has frequently praised his Chicago White Sox for their tenacity during this roller-coaster season.

Beltre, who finished with four hits, had two singles in his first three at-bats before hitting a solo homer in the seventh.

Cubs fans might be upset or even furious after witnessing a late comeback wasted in a 5-4 loss to the rival White Sox.

“I’m revoking Melky Cabrera’s membership at my wife’s gym in Tampa”, Maddon said. He also connected against Arrieta last year, when the ace right-hander allowed just 10 homers all year long on his way to the NL Cy Young Award. Meanwhile, the White Sox just suspended their best pitcher because he threw a temper tantrum and cut up a jersey.

Tyler Saladino celebrates his game-winner against the Cubs Monday night.

Chasing their first World Series title since 1908, the Cubs addressed one of their few weaknesses Monday by sending pitcher Adam Warren and three minor league prospects to the New York Yankees for Chapman, a dominant reliever with a fastball that tops 100 miles per hour. “This is a game-changer”, Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said. “It was tough to give up what we gave up, but if not now, when? This is the appropriate move given where we are and what we’re trying to accomplish”.

Tigers starter Justin Verlander allowed one run in six innings to take the win, while Jose Iglesias hit a two-run homer in the sixth.

Bryant was cut down by Cabrera when he tried to stretch his base hit into a double with no outs in the ninth. Cubs SS Addison Russell was back in the lineup Monday after leaving the Sunday game because of right foot soreness.
