Kelly's 4 RBI lift Cubs over White Sox 10-5

Carson Kelly hit a tiebreaking single in the seventh inning and drove in four runs as the Chicago Cubs stopped a five-game White Sox winning streak with a 10-5 victory over their crosstown rival on Friday night.

Before a crowd of 38,723, the first home sellout for the White Sox this season, the Cubs went ahead to stay after wasting leads of 1-0 and 4-1.

Kelly had an RBI single in the fourth, a bases-loaded infield against Bryan Hudson (1-1) in the seventh that put the Cubs ahead for good at 5-4 and a two-run double in a four-run eighth that built a 10-4 lead.

Jarred Kelenic hit his first home run for the White Sox, a 446-foot drive in the ninth off Javier Assad.

Trent Thornton (2-0) struck out two in two perfect innings.

The Cubs had 14 hits. Seiya Suzuki stopped an 0-for-17 slide with an RBI single that put the visitors ahead 4-1.

Cubs RHP Jameson Taillon (2-2, 3.94) starts Saturday opposite White Sox RHP Davis Martin (5-1, 1.62).
