The Cubs used five infielders defending Burger, who was 0-for-4 with a walk in his first five plate appearances. Burger’s error in the seventh gave the Cubs their only run against Dylan Cease, breaking a scoreless duel with Marcus Stroman. After the Sox tied it 1-1 in the ninth on David Robertson’s wild pitch, both teams scored in each of the extra innings until Matt Foster held the Cubs scoreless in the 12th. Free runner Nico Hoerner scored the Cubs second run of the game on a White Sox fielding error in the 10th inning, and Christopher Morel added another run with an RBI single in the 10th. The Cubs beat the Sox 5-1 Saturday in the first of two games at Guaranteed Rate Field.
