It's Friday, July 25 and the Cubs (60-42) are in Chicago to take on the White Sox (37-66). Shota Imanaga is slated to take the mound for Chicago against Adrian Houser for Chicago. The Cubs are 1-3 in the past four games and coming off a series loss to the Royals where they dropped two of three.

The Chicago Cubs quietly climbed to the top of the National League ahead of the All-Star break thanks to a long losing streak by the defending champions Los Angeles Dodgers, but the Milwaukee Brewers have closed the gap in the NL Central thanks to a 10-game winning streak.

The Chicago Cubs (60-42) visit the South Side of Chicago to face the Chicago White Sox (37-66) Friday in the first game of a 3-game interleague series. First pitch from Rate Field is at 7:40 p.m. ET.
