Chicago produced 23 runs across two games in Atlanta, fueled by a 10-run first six innings in Tuesday's game. Kyle Teel doubled and homered for four RBI while Mike Tauchman, Miguel Vargas, Lenyn Sosa and Luis Robert Jr. also drove in runs; eight starters recorded hits. The offense arrived after a prior four-game stretch with only five runs. The bullpen faltered both nights: Monday relievers allowed multiple runs after starter Yoendrys Gomez exited, and Tuesday the late-inning relief sequence — including Tyler Gilbert and Elvis Peguero — allowed baserunners and runs that shrank a 10-4 lead to 10-9.
The Chicago White Sox picked up where they left off after Monday's 13-9 win, as they racked up 10 runs in the first six innings of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Rookie catcher Kyle Teel doubled and homered to lead the team with four RBI, and production came from all over. Mike Tauchman, Miguel Vargas, Lenyn Sosa and Luis Robert Jr. each drove in runs, and eight players in the starting lineup recorded hits.
The White Sox had scored just five runs in four games leading up to their trip to Atlanta, but at Truist Park they've exploded for 23 runs, tied for their most in any two-game stretch this season. Also for a second straight night, however, the bullpen struggled. On Monday -- following starter Yoendrys Gomez, who gave up three earned runs in five inning -- Mike Vasil allowed a run and the Braves tagged recently promoted Owen White for four runs.
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. A fielding error from shortstop Chase Meidroth put the leadoff man on in the seventh, and left-hander Tyler Gilbert allowed hits to two of the next three batters before being pulled.
