CHICAGO-Mike Foltynewicz allowed five hits in seven innings, Jeff Francoeur and Jace Peterson homered and the Atlanta Braves beat the Chicago White Sox 2-0 on Sunday.
Foltynewicz (3-3), who grew up in the far southwest suburbs of Chicago, had a career-high 10 strikeouts without allowing a walk. He struck out the side in the seventh on 12 pitches.
The 24-year-old right-hander won for the first time since beating the Giants on May 30. He was placed on the disabled list on June 4 with a bone spur and made his third start since returning.
Chris Withrow pitched a scoreless eighth for the Braves and Jim Johnson finished for his second save in four chances.
White Sox starter James Shields (4-10) allowed six hits, including both homers, in 7 2/3 innings. He struck out two and fell to 2-3 with Chicago.
The White Sox were denied their sixth straight series win after dropping two of three.
After retiring the first four batters, Shields was tagged for a solo shot by Francoeur in the second inning. It was Francoeur's fifth of the season. An inning later, Shields gave up another home run to Peterson, giving the Braves a 2-0 lead. It was Peterson's fourth of the season.
A.J. Pierzynski hit his 400th career double in the fifth inning. He became the fourth catcher in major league history with 400 or more doubles.
