Luis Robert Jr. hit a tiebreaking solo homer in his return to the lineup, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Chicago Cubs 5-3 on Tuesday night.
Robert drove a hanging slider from Julian Merryweather deep to left with two out in the seventh inning, giving the White Sox a 4-3 lead at a packed Wrigley Field. It was Robert’s team-high 32nd homer.
Back home after a 3-3 road trip, the Cubs wasted a chance to improve their positioning in the NL wild-card standings. Philadelphia, Miami and Cincinnati all lost. After Touki Toussaint departed in the fifth, four White Sox relievers combined for five innings of two-hit ball. Lane Ramsey got his first major league win, and Gregory Santos earned his fourth save of the season by striking out three in 1 2/3 innings.
Happ gave the Cubs a 2-1 lead with a two-run drive to right-center in the first. It was his fourth homer this month and No. 14 on the season.
