The Atlanta Braves defeat the Chicago White Sox 2-0 on Thursday as right-hander Grant Holmes carries a no-hitter into the seventh inning. Multiple outlets report that Holmes allows no hits through the first six innings and has retired most of the White Sox’s early lineup, keeping the game scoreless until Atlanta scores in the top of the seventh.
Atlanta is leading 2-0 in the seventh in a makeup game of a June 11 rainout. Yahoo Sports describes Austin Riley driving in both runs with two RBIs, including an extra-base hit, and notes that Holmes is charged with his first hit in the seventh when Andrew Benintendi singles in left field after a leadoff walk to Miguel Vargas. After that single, Holmes is relieved by Didier Fuentes.
Outlets align on the key sequence: a two-run Braves lead, Holmes’ no-hit performance through six, the breakdown in the seventh with one hit allowed, and the Braves’ final 2-0 win. Differences are mainly in how they emphasize game timing (through six versus into the seventh) and the specific batting moments leading to the Braves’ runs.
