## Resource

The Cubs close a road trip with a gritty extra-innings win, clinging to the top wild-card spot as they head home to face the Yankees and Dodgers. Meanwhile, the White Sox battle through a brutal stretch against winning teams, starting with Tampa Bay and then Boston. Cubs prospect James Triantos made his MLB debut, staying calm and focused despite the whirlwind. White Sox reliever Jordan Hicks dazzled with 100-mph heat to escape a bases-loaded jam, extending his scoreless streak. While the Cubs’ injury list is long, pitchers like Cabrera and Milner are rehabbing, and closer Palencia is nearing a return — slow but steady.
