White Sox Win at Atlanta, 5-2
Chicago White Sox starter Chris Flexen pitched a strong game against the Atlanta Braves at SunTrust Park, leading the White Sox to a 5-2 win. In 6 innings, Flexen surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 1. He allowed 2 runs. Trevor Gott converted his 5th save in 7 tries.

The result might have been different for Chicago, had it not been for Justin Turner. The third baseman produced a run-scoring walk in the top of the seventh inning to put the White Sox ahead, 3-2. For the game, Turner had 1 double and 1 single in 2 at-bats.

"I'm just happy to help the team win," Turner told the Chicago News.

With the win, Chicago has a record of 67-69. Atlanta falls to 60-77.
