The White Sox look to take the first game of the short series against the Cubs to hold on to their Crosstown hardware. Will they pull it off?

Ahead of the game, the White Sox honored the newest member of the Hall of Fame, Pat Hughes.

OK! Let’s get rolling. Both teams are garbage, and I don’t know why anyone is watching.

It’s 2023, and this is still on the minds of fans.
That Sale trade looks worse by the day
— Michael Ricciotti (@Be_Like_Mike31) July 26, 2023
Yep, 4-0.
Kopech is throwing batting practice again…

Cubs fans are heckling, but the joke is on them. We’re all empty inside.

It doesn’t help that Kyle Hendricks is taking a no-hitter into the fourth.
I heard Kyle Hendricks hasn’t allowed a hit yet

A mass exodus is happening across TVs all over Chicagoland, as fans reach for the remote.
yeah, I turned off the game

And the hate continues to build and fill fans with disgust.
The White Sox are legit the most unserious sports franchise in the history of sports franchises.

The Cubs score, yet again.

Cubs 5, Sox 0. Top of the 5th.
WAIT! A HIT! In the fifth, but it’s a hit!
Thank you for getting a hit, Eloy. Thank you.

Oh goodness, it’s 5-1.
A run!
— Ryiin (@rfoto) July 26, 2023
A Nico Hoerner home run makes it 6-1.
I think I’m just going to go back to reading my book about death because watching it hurts too much. #CrosstownClassic #WhiteSox

After a called-out steal attempt was overturned, the Cubs add another stolen base to their tally.
Five stolen bases for the Cubs.

Is anyone still reading this? Well if you are, it’s 7-1.
Have yourself a day, Dansby Swanson! My goodness!

This feels like the best time to be reminded of things Rick Hahn has said.
One of my favorite quotes on nights like tonight… especially when he refused to show his face. #WhiteSox pic.twitter.com/YWlK6Ge6mr

The White Sox might actually start a rally?!
7-3 as Vaughn spins an infield hit. Two on, one out and Hendricks day is done.

Unfortunately, Yoán Moncada is robbed of a grand slam.
The fan on the broadcast cannot believe his eyes

While the team had some flashes of hope later in the game, nothing panned out.
Final: Cubs 7, White Sox 3
— Meghan Montemurro (@M_Montemurro) July 26, 2023
Hendricks allows three runs in 6 1/3 IP for his seventh quality start.
Cubs (49-51) tally 13 hits including four home runs -- Swanson x2, Morel and Hoerner -- and steal five bases in the win.
We’re all so proud. Don’t stop now.
Hope the White Sox are proud. They’re now 20 games below .500. How utterly pathetic.
