Ronald Acuña Jr. homered twice, but the Atlanta Braves’ comeback bid fell just short in a 6-5 loss to the Chicago White Sox.
Spencer Strider went into the All-Star break pitching well and picked right back up where he left off. Strider struck out Andrew Benintendi and Tim Anderson to start the game and then got Luis Robert Jr. to pop out to end the inning. He came back out in the second and struck out the side.
Strider found himself in trouble in the third. Zach Remillard led off the inning with a single to right and then moved all the way to third on another single by Oscar Colas.
