Cubs Defeat White Sox 13-3 Behind Crow-Armstrong Six RBIs, Horton's MLB Debut

The Chicago Cubs dominated the Chicago White Sox 13-3 on May 16, highlighted by Pete Crow-Armstrong's stellar performance, including a three-run homer and a career-high six RBIs. Crow-Armstrong's offensive surge was crucial in a six-run second inning that turned the game around after the Sox initially took a 2-0 lead, with Cubs fans and teammates praising his all-around skills and impact. Rookie pitcher Cade Horton made a solid first major league start, allowing three runs over five innings while benefiting from strong offensive support. Miguel Vargas contributed two home runs and four hits for the White Sox but could not keep pace with the Cubs' offensive onslaught. The Cubs have now won six consecutive games against the White Sox, matching a franchise record in the series, while capitalizing on favorable wind conditions and defensive lapses by the White Sox. This victory was a significant boost for the Cubs as they continue to manage injuries to key pitchers and rely on a potent lineup to compete.
