White Sox Take First Game Against Cubs In Crosstown Series

CHICAGO (AP) -- Pinch-hitter B.J. Shuck drove in Emilio Bonifacio with a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Cubs, 1-0, on Friday, their eighth win in 10 games.

Neither starter allowed a run, with the Cubs' Kyle Hendricks going seven innings in his third straight scoreless start while Carlos Rodon lasted six innings for the White Sox.

The South Siders opened the crosstown series on a winning note thanks to that run in the eighth and a season-high five double plays by the Cubs.

The rally started when Bonifacio, also a pinch-hitter, got hit by Hector Rondon (3-2) leading off the eighth. He stole second and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Adam Eaton before Shuck drove him in with a sacrifice fly to left.

That made a winner of Jake Petricka (3-2), who worked the seventh. Zach Duke struck out three and walked one in the eighth. David Robertson picked up his 19th save in 23 chances, striking out Kris Bryant and Jorge Soler in the ninth before second baseman Carlos Sanchez dived to his right to snag Chris Coglan's liner, ending the game.

All that happened after Hendricks dominated yet again and Rodon got by despite some control issues.

Hendricks ran his scoreless innings streak to 22 1-3. The right-hander gave up five hits and struck out four without a walk, although he did hit Jose Abreu.

In his last three starts, he has lowered his ERA from 4.46 to 3.55.

Rodon gave up two hits and struck out six for the White Sox. He walked six but was helped by four double plays -- none wilder than the one that ended the third.

It happened after Hendricks singled with one out and Addison Russell walked.

Right fielder Avisail Garcia raced in for a sliding catch on Dexter Fowler's sinking liner, barely snagging the ball before it hit the ground. He rolled over and dropped the ball as he transferred it out of his glove.

He then threw wide to first attempting to double off Russell, and the ball hit the dugout railing. Catcher Tyler Flowers recovered it and threw to second to double off Hendricks, who was standing on third.

TRAINER'S ROOM

White Sox: SS Alexei Ramirez was back in the lineup after fouling a ball off his left foot Wednesday against Toronto. He did not play Thursday.
