White Sox Net 2-0 Win Over Cubs
The Chicago White Sox went home winners at Wrigley Field, thanks in large part to starter Steven Matz. Matz stifled the Chicago Cubs, enabling Chicago to grab the 2-0 win. With the win, Chicago upped its record to 68-53.

The White Sox got a big hit from left fielder Stuart Fairchild. In the top of the seventh, Fairchild pounded a 2-run home run to left. His 4th home run of the season put the White Sox ahead, 2-0.

"I just try to put up zeroes," said Matz, "and let the rest take care of itself."
