Playing through rainy, windy conditions at Wrigley Field, Tim Anderson and the Chicago White Sox did just enough to win.

Anderson homered and José Abreu made two nice plays at first base, helping the White Sox beat the Chicago Cubs 3-1 on Tuesday night.

"It was one of those games that was up there, toughest weather that I've probably played in," Anderson said. "But good thing we got the win, that we (were) able to finish it."

The game-time temperature was 45 degrees, and rain blew across the field for much of the night. Even with the extreme weather, each team committed just one error.

"That was one of the toughest games I think I've ever played in," Cubs second baseman Nick Madrigal said. "Just the constant rain, just wet ball, throwing it. Even hitting, you know there's rain in your face."

Looking to dig themselves out of a rough start, the banged-up White Sox won for the third time in four games. Michael Kopech pitched four-plus scoreless innings, and Jake Burger had two hits.

Anderson led off the third with an opposite-field drive to right-center on Keegan Thompson's first pitch of the inning, making it 3-0 with his fourth homer. The dynamic shortstop is batting .359 (14 for 39) in his last 10 games.

"Staying inside of the baseball. Staying middle to right," Anderson said, "and that's just my approach."
