Things look to be pretty different for both of Chicago’s baseball teams, as the White Sox are on a winning run, while the Cubs hasn’t being able to win a few games in a while.
Yesterday the White Sox and the Cubs finished a 3-game series with the Sox sweaping the Cubs on all 3 ending with last night’s victory of 5-1 at US Cellular Field. The 3 wins are coming as a sort of revenge as just one week ago the Cubs won 3 in a row to the Sox across town at Wrigley Field.
The White Sox have won 5 of their last 6 matches, while the Cubs have lost 4 straight and 5 of 6 overall.
Mark Buehrle was the hero of the night for the Sox as he went through 7 perfect innings and hitted more fast balls than ever, as he always hits for 82-85 MPH in the speed radar, but last night he was able to take those number to even 90 MPH.
“My velocity was up there, and that makes all my other pitches good,” said Buehrle.
But in despite of this series result, both teams walked away from US Cellular Field leading their own divisions, and they are not just even on their current leading stats as the all-time series for these two teams is now tied at 33-33.
Even though they are pretty equal this season, I think the White Sox have the more chances to make it further into the season than the Cubs.
