Luis Robert Jr. hit a home run early in the game, and the Chicago White Sox White Sox used five pitchers to limit the Atlanta Braves to just three hits in a 1-0 victory on Thursday.
Chris Sale, pitching against his former team, had a strong outing with a season-high 11 strikeouts over seven innings. Despite allowing only four hits and one walk, Sale was tagged for a solo home run by Robert in the first inning, which turned out to be the decisive moment of the game.
The win snapped Chicago’s four-game losing streak and marked only their second victory in nine games. The White Sox, who currently have the worst record in MLB at 22-61, were relieved to get back in the win column.
Atlanta, meanwhile, has now lost two consecutive games and three of their last four.
The game was a makeup for a rainout in early April. Robert, who had been struggling with a .190 batting average and an 11-game homerless streak, broke through with his eighth home run of the season.
