In a makeup game from a June 11 rainout, the Atlanta Braves defeated the Chicago White Sox 2-0 on August 20, 2026, at Rate Field in Chicago. Braves' right-hander Grant Holmes delivered an impressive performance, carrying a no-hitter into the seventh inning. The no-hit bid was broken when Andrew Benintendi lined a single to left field to lead off the seventh. Holmes was then relieved by Didier Fuentes after issuing a walk to Miguel Vargas.

Offensively, Austin Riley led the Braves, contributing both of the team's runs. He doubled and singled, driving in Mauricio Dubón in the third inning and adding another RBI later in the game. This victory snapped a three-game losing streak for Atlanta. (seattlepi.com)
The White Sox, who had previously secured two one-run victories against the Braves in June, were unable to complete the sweep in this rescheduled matchup. Anthony Kay started for Chicago, aiming to provide a lengthy outing to alleviate the bullpen's workload after a taxing series against the Cubs. (currently.att.yahoo.com)
This game was notable not only for Holmes' near no-hitter but also for its scheduling; both teams had originally planned for a day off before this makeup game was added to the calendar. (detroitstar.com)
