Atlanta Braves at Chicago White Sox Game Postponed because of Rain
The Chicago White Sox defeated the Atlanta Braves 2-1 on Wednesday night at Rate Field, moving into first place in the American League Central Division for the first time since 2021.
Right-Hander Davis Martin earned his ninth win by pitching six scoreless innings, matching the MLB lead in victories while stranding seven baserunners during the game.
Atlanta's offense struggled to generate momentum, finishing one-for-six with runners in scoring position and leaving 10 on base while failing to capitalize against Chicago's pitching.
Following the loss, the Braves placed five-time MLB All-Star Ronald Acuna on the 10-day injured list after he exited Tuesday's game with left hamstring tightness, his second such injury this season.
The Braves face the White Sox on Thursday in the series finale, attempting to avoid their first sweep of the season despite a weather delay at Rate Field.
