Miguel Gonzalez started for the White Sox and allowed two runs on seven hits over 6 2/3 innings, striking out eight and walking two. His only blemish came in the seventh when Miguel Montero doubled and Javier Baez homered.
But that uprising cut the lead in half. The White Sox grabbed a 1-0 lead in the third on Adam Eaton's run-scoring single against Jake Arrieta and took control in the sixth by really making Arrieta work. Tim Anderson struck out on a 10-pitch at-bat, followed by Melky Cabrera's walk and Jose Abreu's single. Todd Frazier then connected on an 0-1 pitch after Justin Morneau struck out, giving him 29 homers for the season.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Gonzalez's escape act: The Cubs had runners on second and third with two outs in the sixth following Willson Contreras' infield single and Jason Heyward's double, leaving Addison Russell with the chance to drive in the go-ahead runs. But Gonzalez struck out Russell looking to maintain the 1-0 advantage.

Melky saves a run: Kris Bryant would have had home run No. 26 in the first inning if not for Cabrera's great defensive play in left. Bryant lofted the first pitch he saw from Gonzalez toward the White Sox bullpen, but Cabrera moved back toward the wall, stretched over the fence and took the home run away. More >

Easy over: With one out in the Cubs third, Baez singled and reached second when Eaton overran the ball in right field for an error. One out later, Bryant singled and made a wide turn at first. Baez tried to score, and was thrown out at the plate, although he wasn't tagged immediately and tried to scramble to touch home. Baez found an easier way to score in the seventh. Montero doubled to lead off, and Baez followed with his 10th home run to pull within 4-2.

REPLAY REVIEW
In the fourth, the Cubs had runners at first and second with one out when Heyward hit a grounder to Saladino, who flipped to Anderson for the force at second. Anderson threw to first to get Heyward, who was called out, but the Cubs challenged the call, and after a review, it was overturned.

White Sox: James Shields makes his 10th start as a member of the White Sox rotation. Shields is 2-3 with a 2.10 ERA over his last 34 1/3 innings covering five starts.
