The Cubs aren’t going to complain about going .500 on a tough trip. While they let a potential win or two get away from them on the six-game trip against the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres, the Cubs head home to Wrigley Field trying to build momentum through the rest of a challenging April slate. Next up: their final regular-season games against the Arizona Diamondbacks and Dodgers. The White Sox begin a season-high 10-game trip Friday in Boston.

The Chicago White Sox stranded a runner at third in the sixth inning. They loaded the bases in the seventh but did not score. And a one-out walk in the eighth went nowhere. The Sox had the tying or go-ahead run at the plate in those three innings. Each time, they came up empty in a 3-1 loss to the Athletics on Wednesday night in front of 10,411 at Rate Field. “These opportunities with runners in scoring position, we have to cash in there,” manager Will Venable said.

The Chicago White Sox brought back Mike Clevinger this spring, hoping he would be an effective option while making the move to the bullpen. The Sox went another direction Wednesday, designating the right-hander for assignment. They recalled right-hander Steven Wilson from Triple-A Charlotte in the corresponding move.

Luis Robert Jr. found himself in a favorable count after taking Boston Red Sox reliever Zack Kelly’s first two pitches for balls in the sixth inning of Saturday’s game at Rate Field. Kelly threw a fastball over the heart of the plate, and the Chicago White Sox center fielder made him pay — hitting a game-tying, two-run home run to right-center. It was Robert’s first home run of the season. In fact, it snapped a career-high 46-game homerless streak that stretched over 203 plate appearances.
