Cubs fall to crosstown rival ChiSox

John Danks pitched like he did at the end of last season and that was good enough to beat the struggling Chicago Cubs.

The left-hander didn't allow a run through seven strong innings Wednesday, Alexei Ramirez homered in the first and the White Sox parlayed some NL-style small ball into some late runs to beat the Cubs 4-1 at Wrigley Field.
