White Sox, finally in the win column, aim for another W against Braves

Four straight losses to begin the season, including three by one run, hardly hampered the Chicago White Sox’s spirit. After notching their first win of the season on Tuesday, the White Sox will try to make it two in a row on Wednesday in the finale of a three-game series against the visiting Atlanta Braves.
