White Sox Roll Braves to Avoid Three-Game Sweep

In a game heard on WHOW, Dylan Cease won for the first time in nearly two months, Luis Robert Jr. had four hits that included a two-run homer and the White Sox beat Atlanta 8-1 on Sunday.

 

 

Jake Burger hit a two-run homer.

 

 

Robert had three singles before hitting a two-run homer off Michael Soroka in the sixth, Robert's 27th home run this season.

 

 

Andrew Benintendi had three hits and scored three runs.

 

 

Chicago had 14 hits, its most since June 28, and took two of three for its first series win since June 23-25 against Boston.

 

White Sox RF Eloy Jiménez left in the second inning with left groin tightness. Grifol said he doesn't expect Jiménez to be available in the next few days, for sure. Adding it doesn't look good for the next three, four, five days.

 

Lucas Giolito (6-5, 3.44) is scheduled to start when Chicago opens another series against an NL East team on Tuesday against RHP Carlos Carrasco (3-3, 5.16) and the New York Mets.
