The Chicago Cubs walk off the Chicago White Sox with a 7-5 win in extra innings, completing a dramatic crosstown opener. The game ends with the Cubs scoring the winning run after both teams remain tied through regulation, turning a late moment into a turning point for the visiting side.
All outlets frame the loss as frustrating for the White Sox, who initially hold a lead late in the game but fail to convert it when the contest extends past nine innings. The Cubs’ walk-off finish underscores the turnaround in the closing stages, when momentum shifts away from the team that had the advantage. The “walk-off” description and the final score are consistent across reports, emphasizing that the result hinges on late-game execution rather than earlier scoring.
