Atlanta Braves
Grant Holmes took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, Austin Riley doubled and singled to drive in Atlanta’s runs, and the Braves topped the Chicago White Sox 2-0 on Thursday to end a three-game slide. Holmes didn’t allow a hit until Andrew Benintendi lined a single to left with no outs in the seventh in the matchup between division leaders. The right-hander was relieved by Didier Fuentes after the hit, which followed a leadoff walk to Miguel Vargas. Holmes has never pitched a complete game in the majors. His longest effort was 7 2/3 innings on April 14, 2025, in an 8-4 win over Toronto. He spent 10 years in the minors before making his major league debut on June 16, 2024, with the Braves. Braves: LHP Chris Sale (12-8, 2.16 ERA) faces Brewers RHP Jacob Misiorowski (12-5, 1.57) on Friday in Milwaukee.
