The rubber game of the City Series delivered the drama on Sunday afternoon at Rate Field. One minute, it was the White Sox taking the lead in the eighth on a three-run home run by Tristan Peters — the
first of his career. The next, it was the Cubs responding with a game-tying, three-run home run by Michael Conforto in the ninth. Catcher Edgar Quero, who came into the day mired in a major hitting slump, emerged as the hero in the 10th inning with a walk-off, two-run home run to lift the Sox to a 9-8 victory.
