(670 The Score) It was a pitcher's night at Wrigley Field on Tuesday as the White Sox and Cubs played through near-freezing temperatures, a blowing rain and heavy wind gusts at Wrigley Field.
But that didn't dampen the belief that White Sox right-hander Dylan Cease feels in star shortstop Tim Anderson. Cease, who was wearing a microphone for the team's in-house media platforms, told fellow pitcher Lucas Giolito that Anderson would hit a home run over a specific advertisement in right field. Sure enough, that's what Anderson did in the third inning, launching a ball exactly where Cease said it would land.
"Are you (expletive) kidding me? That's the most legendary mic'd-up moment ever," Cease said to Giolito after the home run.
"I die a legend right now. That's all I can say."
The White Sox earned a 3-1 win over the Cubs in their first of four games of the Crosstown Series this season. The two teams will square off again Wednesday evening at Wrigley Field, with the weather expected to be chilly again but at least dry this time.
