22 hours ago | chicago.suntimes.com | Maddie Lee

It’s hard to imagine a more entertaining start to a homestand than the show the Cubs put on this past week against the Diamondbacks and Dodgers. It included a comeback from a 10-run inning and the first walk-off victory of the year. Of the five games, three were decided by one run and two went into extra innings. TheCubs still have three more games, against the Phillies, to play at Wrigley Field this weekend before heading back on the road.

Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton on Thursday became the first prominent Democrat to launch a bid for Sen. Dick Durbin’s Senate seat, painting herself as a new leader who can speak for the “working people” and help stand up to President Donald Trump.

Utility player Nicky López was at home in Arizona Tuesday evening, eating dinner and then watching the Cubs’ thrilling walk-off win in extra innings against the Dodgers, when the opportunity to re-join the organization unfolded. “Just to be able to get that call yesterday: ‘Hey, we have a spot open for you, would you like it?’ And I’m like, I would be stupid not to accept it,” Lopez said Wednesday from in front of his new Wrigley Field locker, before the Cubs’ 7-6 win against the Dodgers.

1 day ago | chicago.suntimes.com | Kyle Williams

Wednesday was the first time the White Sox had to cover left-hander Martin Perez’s turn in the rotation. Perez, who had been a model of consistency with a 3.15 ERA in 20 innings, was put on the 60-day injured list Monday with soreness in his left forearm. Covering him won’t be one man’s responsibility. But Sox right-hander Davis Martin did his part in a 4-2 loss Tuesday to set the team up well for the game that right-hander Bryse Wilson started Wednesday.

At just 3.4 acres, the long-awaited $15 million Jean-Baptiste Point DuSable Park won’t be the city’s largest public green space, but it has the potential to be one of the best. As it should be. The park is planned for an absolutely prime spot east of DuSable Lake Shore Drive that is bounded by the Chicago River, the Ogden Slip and the lake. Chicagoans have waited 38 years for this park honoring DuSable, watching previous plans come and go. But the wait now appears to be ending.

Left-hander Drew Pomeranz was on the brink of making his long-awaited return to the majors 11 months ago. Signed by the Giants for what he said he knew was only going to be a four-day stint, Pomeranz was warm in the bullpen and ready for the call. Then Patrick Bailey hit an eighth-inning grand slam to put the Giants ahead by a run, changing the bullpen plan in one swing. “I’m like, ‘That’s probably my shot,’” Pomeranz said Wednesday.

White Sox' inability to 'cash in' scoring opportunities costly in loss to Twins

2 days ago | chicago.suntimes.com | Kyle Williams

MINNEAPOLIS — Trailing the Twins 2-1 with run-ners on first and third after back-to-back singles by Nick Maton and Andrew Benintendi, and with Luis Robert Jr. up to bat, the White Sox had a prime opportunity to score and take control in the fifth inning Tuesday night. And then . . . nothing. Robert was called out on strikes after he didn’t swing at a fastball near the zone. Andrew Vaughn promptly grounded into a double play to end the inning.
