ATLANTA (AP) – Luis Robert Jr. homered to spark a six-run fourth inning and the Chicago White Sox beat the Atlanta Braves 13-9 on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Robert followed Andrew Benintendi’s leadoff single against a struggling Spencer Strider with his 13th homer to put Chicago up 3-0. Mike Tauchman drove in two with a bases-loaded double, and Lenyn Sosa’s two-out RBI single made it 7-0.<\/p>\n

Brooks Baldwin hit his eighth home run, a leadoff shot in the third to give Chicago the lead. Sosa hit his 17th homer, a three-run drive off Austin Cox in the sixth for a 10-1 advantage. Kyle Teel and Benintendi both had four of Chicago’s 19 hits.<\/p>\n

Yoendrys G\u00f3mez (3-1) allowed four runs in five innings for the win in his second career start. Grant Taylor pitched a scoreless ninth to close it out.<\/p>\n

Strider (5-11) was ineffective for a third straight start, allowing seven runs and 10 hits in three-plus innings. He has given up 20 runs and seven homers in his last 11 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

Michael Harris II went 4 for 4 with a two-run homer – his 15th – for Atlanta to extend his hitting streak to 11 games. He leads the majors with 49 hits since the All-Star break. Jurickson Profar hit his eighth and ninth homers – a two-run shot off Mike Vasil in the sixth and a three-run shot off Owen White in the eighth.<\/p>\n

Jordan Leasure struck out Eli White with the bases loaded to end the eighth. White batted in Harris’ spot after coming in as a pinch runner when Harris singled leading off the inning with the Braves trailing 13-5.<\/p>\n

Braves reliever Daysbel Hern\u00e1ndez had the longest active streak without allowing a homer end at 54 2\/3 innings when Teel hit this third leading off the seventh.<\/p>\n

White Sox rookie RHP Shane Smith (3-7, 4.01 ERA) starts Tuesday opposite Braves RHP Bryce Elder (5-9, 5.89).<\/p>\n
