Teel's home run in the sixth inning of Tuesday's game put the White Sox ahead 10-4, typically a comfortable lead. But when manager Will Venable turned it over to the bullpen after six innings with four earned runs from starter Shane Smith, things went downhill quickly.

The Braves’ pitching has been terrible since the break. Not because of Hurston Waldrep, who will be pitching tonight.

The White Sox scored 10 runs on Tuesday but fell short after the Braves rallied from a 10-4 deficit by scoring a total of seven runs in the seventh and eighth innings. Kyle Teel homered for the second straight game and drove in four runs for the White Sox, who lost for the fifth time in their last six games.

BOTTOM LINE: The Chicago White Sox will attempt to break a seven-game road slide when they face the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta has a 56-68 record overall and a 30-30 record in home games. The Braves have a 25-13 record in games when they hit two or more home runs.

ATLANTA — The White Sox have found their bats in Atlanta — but lost their bullpen. A night after Sox relievers nearly coughed up a nine-run lead, they surrendered the six-run advantage that their resurgent offense put up against the Braves in a deflating 11-10 loss at Truist Park.
