Braves Win Series with 1-0 Shutout over White Sox

The Atlanta Braves defeated the Chicago White Sox 1-0 in a tightly contested pitchers' duel, with rookie Hurston Waldrep delivering a career-best performance by striking out seven batters over seven scoreless innings. The game’s only run came in the fourth inning due to an unearned run scored by Marcell Ozuna following an error by White Sox shortstop Colson Montgomery. White Sox starter Martín Pérez pitched strongly, allowing just one unearned run across 5 1/3 innings and striking out five, but the White Sox have struggled recently, losing six of their last seven games. The Braves improved their recent form, securing their 11th win in 14 games and their fifth series win in six tries, despite remaining far behind in the NL East standings. Relief pitchers Pierce Johnson and closer Raisel Iglesias sealed the shutout for Atlanta, with Iglesias earning his 21st save. Meanwhile, Michael Harris II's 12-game hitting streak ended, though he has been a key offensive contributor for the Braves this season.
