White Sox making spring training statement in crosstown rivalry with Cubs

It's only Spring Training, but the White Sox have already played their crosstown rival Cubs twice, and both matchups have gone the South-Siders way. Normally, fans can ignore any spring training result because the success often doesn't carry over to the regular season for a multitude of reasons, but both White Sox victories have come with impressive feats against big league regulars, and it gives White Sox fans some encouraging signs.

This past Sunday, the White Sox did something few lineups have managed to do this spring by getting to Cubs left Shota Imanaga early. In just a three inning outing, Imanaga allowed four hits and let up three earned runs.
