The first two games of the series produced 43 combined runs, but Wednesday centered on pitching in a 1-0 Braves victory. Hurston Waldrep scattered four hits in seven scoreless innings, striking out seven and walking one. Martín Pérez allowed one unearned run on three hits in 5 1/3 innings while striking out five and issuing no walks in a 74-pitch outing. The White Sox compiled only four hits, all singles by Mike Tauchman, Brooks Baldwin, Luis Robert Jr. and Curtis Mead. The Braves won two of three games in the series.
Sox starter Martín Pérez allowed one run, which was unearned, on three hits in 5 1/3 innings in a 1-0 loss to the Braves in front of 30,054. "I was in my rhythm again and attacking from the first pitch," Pérez said. "I think moving the ball very well, the strike zone in, was good for me today. "I think we are doing a great job, man. We lost the game but it's part of the game. You've got to keep going."
Starter Hurston Waldrep scattered four hits in seven scoreless innings for the Braves, who took two of three in the series. Waldrep struck out seven and walked one. "Waldrep, really good (splitter), (we) knew that coming in," Sox manager Will Venable said. "It was extremely effective tonight. And then we had to honor that and he was able to use all his stuff effectively on top of that. So credit to him."
