CHICAGO — They hit into a triple play, stumbled through just about the worst defensive inning known to Christendom and saw their starter chased after five.
And still the Braves outlasted the White Sox, 11-8, at U.S. Cellular Field on Friday night, going for six doubles and three home runs by Freddie Freeman, Tyler Flowers and Nick Markakis, who hasn’t found a park in this city this trip that can contain him. After yielding double-digit run totals a dismal five times this season, the Braves turned the trick for the first time on their biggest offensive night of the year.
