Game Summary
Atlanta defeated Chicago 2-0. The Braves won primarily because their pitching staff allowed just one hit and kept the White Sox off the board, while timely hitting produced two runs. Grant Holmes worked six scoreless innings, surrendered one hit and struck out three to earn the win, and the bullpen followed with three scoreless frames as Dylan Lee and Didier Fuentes set up Raisel Iglesias, who recorded the save. Offensively Austin Riley delivered both RBIs (2-for-4 with a double and a single) and Mauricio Dubón went 3-for-4 and scored the game's first run. Atlanta broke the scoreless tie in the third on Riley's double and added insurance in the seventh on his RBI single.
