Summary
Multiple fans threw punches in the Wrigley Field bleachers during the eighth inning of Monday night’s Cubs-White Sox game, with security and Chicago police moving in to stop the scuffle.
Video posted to X captured the altercation, but authorities had not said what sparked it or whether anyone was arrested or charged.
Pete Crow-Armstrong shifted attention back to the field with a two-run walk-off homer in the 10th that gave the Cubs a 7-5 win in Game 1 of the Crosstown Classic.
Crow-Armstrong finished 4-for-5 with a walk, hit his 30th homer of the season and secured a second straight 30-homer, 30-steal year as the Cubs snapped a two-game skid.
The rivalry series continues Tuesday at Wrigley Field, with Kevin Gausman scheduled to start for the Cubs while the White Sox had not named a starter.
