Chicago White Sox’s bargain pickup Jose Urquidy outduels Clay Holmes at Wrigley Field, raising the question: Did the club’s modest trade deadline moves actually pay off? Todd Welter spotlights Urquidy’s electric six-inning, eight-strikeout performance and examines whether he can anchor the rotation down the stretch as the Sox chase a division title. With Davis Martin struggling and Noah Schultz sidelined, is Urquidy the unexpected answer Chicago needs?
Welter also breaks down the White Sox’s shaky challenge process, with Sam Antonacci’s costly early-inning pitch challenges coming under fire. Key moments from the heated White Sox-Cubs rivalry get re-examined, including the impact of the “Manfred runner,” defensive gems by Braden Montgomery and Antonacci, and the playoff implications of holding off the Twins, Tigers, and Guardians. Can Chicago sustain this momentum, or will roster and strategy questions haunt their postseason hopes?
