Jake Burger singled home free runner Danny Mendick from third base in the 12th inning, and the White Sox gained a split of their two-game crosstown series with Cubs with a 5-4 victory Sunday before a sellout crowd at Guaranteed Rate Field.
The Cubs used five infielders defending Burger, who was 0-for-4 with a walk in his first five plate appearances. He lined a single to left against Robert Gsellman after Andrew Vaughn moved Mendick to third with a ground ball to the right side.
