The South Siders failed to score until the bottom of the ninth during Saturday’s loss

The White Sox (38-67) pitching staff faltered late in this game, so they were unable to win back-to-back games against the Cubs (61-43).

Right-handed pitcher Aaron Civale, 30, started on the mound for the South Siders, and he was in control early on. Civale retired the first 11 batters he faced, striking out six of them.
