Chicago Cubs started off the month of may at 4-8, right at the 500. winning percentage mark. The Cubs started their winning streak by winning 2/3 against the Cardinals and sweeping the Phillies in 3 game series at home. The Cubs defeated the Dodgers yesterday by a score of 2-0. The Cubs used 4 pitchers due to the injury of Jason Hammel in in top of the third inning. The Dodgers will be in town until thursday as they continue there four game series. Now the Chicago White Sox. A team that is in a huge!!!! slump. The Sox have lost 7 games in a row!! dropping them from first to third place in the american central division. The Sox last win came on May, 23, 2016 vs the Cleveland Indians. I don't believe that it is Robin Ventura's fault that they are losing a lot of games, I think it's just all the players that are in slumps. Saturday the White Sox blew a 7-1 lead in Kansas City against the Royals in the ninth inning as the royals went on to defeat the sox's by a score of 8-7. After that, sunday they blew a 4-1 lead in the 7th inning again to the Royals and lost 5-4. And yesterday's game vs the Mets, were facing a struggling pitcher Matt Harvey, the sox left 14 men on base and took the loss by a score of 1-0. They take on the Mets tonight at 6:10pm.
