Cubs complete a Crosstown sweep of the Sox with a 6-2 win. They broke a 1-all tie with some wild base-running, scampering and sliding their way to a three-run sixth inning. Sox helped, unable to handle Wrigley wind. Colin Rea's ERA as a starter is down to 2.72. Sun-Times Sports

Craig Counsell has said that great seasons need surprises. Here’s a surprise: With Justin Steele and Shota Imanaga hurt, Matthew Boyd is anchoring the Cubs’ rotation. ā€œIt’s cool how quickly he’s become a big part of this group.ā€ For Sun-Times Sports: chicago.suntimes.com/cubs/2025/05/1…

Chris Getz said Sox will use both Miguel Vargas and Lenyn Sosa to man first base with both Andrew Vaughn and Tim Elko sent to the minors. Vargas gets the start there today. Getz said he expects both Vaughn and Elko to be back in the bigs at some point. Sun-Times Sports

Chris Getz said pitching prospect Hagen Smith was experiencing some elbow soreness. MRI showed nothing concerning, Getz said, and the soreness is gone. But Smith hasn’t thrown since his last outing (May 10) and won’t start playing catch for a couple days. Sun-Times Sports

Jonathan Cannon won’t make his scheduled start for the Sox today. He’s been scratched with lower back tightness and is described as day-to-day. Bryse Wilson gets the start against the Rangers. Sun-Times Sports

Sox win 10-5. Some ugly defense on both sides, but the Sox did a better job of taking advantage, scoring six times after a mistake-filled start to the sixth by the Rangers. Big doubles from Benintendi, Sosa that inning. Palacios, Tauchman homered elsewhere. Sun-Times Sports

Miguel Vargas hit .104 and made numerous defensive mistakes after getting traded to the Sox last summer. This season? He looks completely different both offensively and defensively. "This is the player we envisioned." For Sun-Times Sports: chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2025…

Did the Sox fix Colson Montgomery? He's hitting a lot better after his Arizona sojourn. Next on their to-do list? Getting Andrew Vaughn and Luis Robert Jr. right, too. For Sun-Times Sports: chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2025…
