Before he was traded from the Cubs to the Sox four years ago, Eloy Jimenez was teammates with Adbert Alzolay in the minor leagues.
Jimenez, the Sox's left fielder/DH and Alzolay, a starter for the Cubs, played together with the Rookie League Cubs and at Eugene, South Bend and Myrtle Beach.
"After I got traded, we kept in touch," Jimenez said. "He's my brother, besides baseball. He's a really, really good friend of mine. We were always talking about this kind of day and (Saturday) was the first day we faced each other for the first time after I got traded. It was fun."
Alzolay pitched very well in the Cubs' 4-0 loss to the White Sox, allowing 2 runs in 6⅔ innings.
Jimenez had 2 hits off Alzolay but the second was scored a double on a flyball Ian Happ dropped in right field.
"He was good," Jimenez said.
