Quero Has 4 Hits, White Sox Hit 4 HRs in 12-5 Win over Cubs
CHICAGO, JUL 26 – Rookie Edgar Quero had four hits and the White Sox set season highs with 18 hits and 12 runs in their sixth win in seven games, officials said.
- On Friday night, the Chicago White Sox defeated the Chicago Cubs 12-5 at Rate Field, setting season highs in runs and hits with 18 total.
- The White Sox's strong second-half performance followed a 5-1 road trip and reflected their strategy to exploit Cubs pitcher Shota Imanaga's inability to throw fastballs over the plate.
- Key contributions came from rookies Edgar Quero and Chase Meidroth, who each had multiple hits including Meidroth's home run, while Adrian Houser pitched 6 2/3 innings allowing three runs to secure his fourth straight win.
- Imanaga, who signed a lucrative deal spanning four seasons and worth $53 million before the 2024 campaign, struggled in his start by giving up a career-high 12 hits and seven earned runs in just over three innings, leading to an early exit due to ineffective pitching.
- The White Sox’s winning streak and offensive surge suggest growing team cohesion post-All-Star break, although players like Houser acknowledge ongoing challenges and uncertainty about trades ahead.
