The Cubs staggered back to Wrigley Field for a homestand that began Friday, heavy damage having been sustained throughout a 1-6 road trip that included five one-run losses.
The White Sox, meanwhile, hit the road after having rebounded — a little? — from a 10-game losing streak by winning three games in a row and their first series of the season, though they dumped Thursday’s finale against the Twins in dispiriting fashion.
