Chicago White Sox erupted for offense in Atlanta, rattling off 23 runs on 30 hits across the first two games of the series, but their bullpen betrayed them in an 11-10 loss at Truist Park. Lenyn Sosa pulled the reins with a team-high RBI and Luis Robert Jr. added a crooked-number double, while Miguel Vargas drew a key walk and Kyle Teel delivered a second homer in as many nights. The outbreak came after a four-game skid that produced just five runs, underscoring an offense in bloom but a relief corps under siege.

Manager Will Venable took ownership of the bullpen’s late-innings collapse, acknowledging the need to better position his relievers after a string of outings that surrendered multiple leads. The Sox leaned on deep-league contributions, including Quero’s RBI, Meidroth’s first-inning spark, and Teel’s six-inning power, as the offense tried to counter the Braves’ late push. Colson Montgomery was day-to-day but available off the bench, signaling a potential reshuffle as the lineup finds balance between hit productivity and bullpen reliability in the coming days.

The Braves grabbed momentum with Jurickson Profar and Ozzie Albies delivering timely power, while Bryce Elder battled through six innings to keep Atlanta in striking distance before the Sox bullpen faltered again. The night highlighted a hopeful Chicago perspective: the offense is capable of carrying a game, but the bullpen’s consistency will determine whether the White Sox can sustain a winning run in this tight stretch of the schedule.
