Davis Martin works 6 scoreless innings and White Sox move atop AL Central with
2-1 win over Braves

CHICAGO (AP) --- Davis Martin threw six scoreless innings for his ninth win as
the Chicago White Sox beat the Atlanta Braves 2-1 on Wednesday night to move
into first place in the AL Central.
The White Sox have won seven straight at home and nine of 13 overall, including
two straight against the major league-best Braves. Chicago moved one-half game
ahead of Cleveland, which lost to the New York Yankees earlier Wednesday. This
is the latest in the season the White Sox have led their division since 2021.
Martin (9-2) recorded his third outing of at least six innings without allowing
a run this season. He gave up six hits, struck out six and walked one as he
matched Aaron Ashby and Gavin Williams for the major league lead in victories.
White Sox right fielder Braden Montgomery, who doubled and hit a game-ending
homer in his big league debut Tuesday, had two more doubles Wednesday.
Chris Sale (8-5) allowed two runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings for the Braves.
The White Sox went ahead in the fourth when Derek Hill singled in Montgomery,
then scored on a grounder by Luisangel Acua.
The Braves got on the board in the seventh against reliever Sean Newcomb when
Miguel Vargas couldn't handle a grounder to third from Ozzie Albies, allowing
Jorge Mateo to score from first base. Bryan Hudson pitched the ninth for his
third save.
Chicago's Chase Meidroth extended his on-base streak to 21 games and his
hitting streak to 11 games with an infield single in the third.
Martin stranded seven baserunners, pitching out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam
in the second by striking out Mateo and getting Austin Wynns to line out.
