Waldrep Fans Seven as Braves Edge White Sox 1-0

The rookie’s seven sharp innings anchored a rare pitchers’ duel in a series otherwise defined by big bats.

Overview

  • Atlanta scored the lone run in the fourth when Marcell Ozuna came home on an infield error.
  • Raisel Iglesias recorded his 21st save with a scoreless ninth, extending his run of consecutive scoreless closing innings to 12.
  • The victory gave the Braves 10 wins in their last 12 and a fourth straight series, though they remain 16 games back in the NL East.
