The White Sox continue to assert their dominance over the Cubs, clinching their third consecutive victory this spring. This latest win at Camelback Ranch might not have been as explosive as their previous outings, but it was a solid display of their prowess. With two homers in this game compared to the four in their earlier 5-1 win and the eight runs in the Cactus League opener, the White Sox showed they can win in multiple ways.
The victory was anchored by a combination of timely hitting and stellar pitching. Davis Martin led the charge on the mound, delivering four scoreless innings with just one hit and four strikeouts.
Jordan Hicks followed with a tidy, scoreless inning, while Sean Newcomb added three strong innings, allowing two unearned runs but striking out six. Jordan Leasure closed things out with a scoreless inning, fanning two to seal the win.
Offensively, the White Sox spread their scoring across the first five innings. Korey Lee, who has been a key player this spring, went 2-for-2, including a home run that set the tone. Lee's impressive .529 on-base percentage this spring underscores his importance to the lineup.
The Cubs managed to close the gap to 3-2 in the sixth, capitalizing on a couple of miscues from center fielder Jarred Kelenic. However, the White Sox quickly responded, with Everson Pereira launching a home run to restore their lead.
With this win, the Cubs drop to a 9-11 record, while the White Sox improve to 12-9. The South Siders are set to host the Dodgers next at Camelback Ranch, with Hannah Filippo making her 2026 debut on the broadcast. The White Sox are looking sharp as they continue their spring campaign, leaving fans eager for what’s next.
