One of baseball's best run-scoring teams, the Cubs won three out of four this weekend, doing so while scoring only nine runs in the series.

The Chicago White Sox have a new starting pitcher and a recent report made it clear they’re willing to deal him.

Among those in attendance was 67-year-old prostate cancer survivor Clark Atwater, who threw out the ceremonial first pitch.
