Crosstown Collision: Cubs and Sox Set for Windy City Rematch

The Windy City Showdown is back as the Cubs and White Sox meet for a Friday night crosstown clash. The North Side faithful will send lefty ace Shota Imanaga (7-3, 2.40 ERA) to the mound, while the South Siders counter with the sizzling Adrian Houser (5-2, 1.89 ERA).

The White Sox are coming off an impressive series win over the Rays, fueled by Kyle Teel’s four-hit performance. Chicago’s other Chicago—the Cubs—are still locked in a neck-and-neck race with Milwaukee atop the NL Central, and they’ll be itching to bounce back after a loss to Kansas City.

Pete Crow-Armstrong leads the Cubs with 27 homers, and Miguel Vargas is providing surprising pop for the Sox. With playoff tension brewing and bragging rights on the line, Friday night promises fireworks at Guaranteed Rate Field.
