CHICAGO -- Chris Sale is going to use his All-Star break in San Diego to forget about his worst start of the season. Trayvon Henderson Jersey .Freddie Freeman, Tyler Flowers and Nick Markakis all homered off Sale to lead the Atlanta Braves to an 11-8 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Friday night.Chicago turned its third triple play this season in the third -- the only inning Atlanta didnt score against Sale (14-3) in his five innings. The White Sox ace, bidding to become the majors first 15-game winner, allowed 10 hits -- including a career-worst seven for extra bases -- and a season high eight runs.Sale, a candidate to start the All-Star game for the American League, wants to block out his worst performance of the season against the league-worst Braves as soon as possible.No doubt. Pretty embarrassing. Its about as bad as I possibly think Ive been in a while, Sale said. Stuff like this happens. You take the good with the bad, and this certainly was the bad. You just take it, you throw it away, you discard it. You almost dont even notice that it happened.Atlantas Adonis Garcia had his first four-hit game, including two doubles and two RBI. Gordon Beckham added three hits and Jeff Francoeur had three RBI.Markakis hit his third homer in two nights to boost his season total to five. Freeman had his team-leading 15th and Flowers -- Sales longtime batterymate with the White Sox -- added a two run shot and an RBI double to help the Braves win their second straight after a four-game skid.I think you know who won that battle. Hes seen me more than anybody, you tip you cap and move on, Sale said.Flowers said catching Sale didnt necessarily give him an advantage.Its a lot different then staring at someone squatting and knowing what is coming then standing sideways and looking left and trying to figure out what is coming so I really dont think so besides knowing the pitches that he has, Flowers said. I figured he was going to try to pound me in. Thats a pitch I used to struggle with at times, especially with higher velocity. I was just trying to be on time for a fastball and I was able to do that a couple of times.The Braves 15 hits equaled a season high for a nine-inning game and included nine for extra-bases.Flowers thought the Braves had a good approach against Sale.Yeah, but I also think he wasnt as sharp as he usually is, Flowers said.Chicagos Todd Frazier hit his 24th homer and Adam Eaton added solo shot off Atlanta starter Matt Wisler (4-8), who gave up six runs and eight hits in five innings but got his first win since June 16.The Braves scored four runs in the fifth on three straight doubles to the wall to break a 4-all tie.The White Sox became the first team in the majors to turn three triple plays in a season since the 1979 -- when Oakland and Boston did it.With Chase dArnaud on second base and Beckham on first in the third inning, Freeman hit a soft liner that rookie shortstop Tim Anderson trapped. Anderson tagged dArnaud as he tried to retreat to second for the first out. Anderson stepped on second to force out Beckham, then threw to first baseman Jose Abreu to get Freeman.Chicago also turned triple plays on April 22 against Texas and May 18 against Houston.DERBY DAYFrazier, the defending All-Star Home Run Derby champion, is pumped to take his cuts at Mondays competition in San Diego. We have a little plan, Frazier said, and you look at who Im stacked against and there are some big guns.Frazier, second in the American League with 24 homers, will take on Colorados Carlos Gonzalez in the first round and hit second in the matchup, which Frazier prefers. You know how many home runs you need to hit, he said. You know whether you need to speed it up and start cranking at some point, and when to use your timeout.TRAINERS ROOMBraves: RHP Julio Teheran, Atlantas lone All-Star, was cleared to make his regular Saturday against the White Sox after being treated for an infection due to an ingrown hair on his right thigh. If everything goes well tomorrow and he feels good Sunday, hell be available to pitch in the All-Star Game, Im assuming, interim manager Brian Snitker said.White Sox: Manager Robin Ventura shifted 2B Brett Lawrie to DH following Thursdays day off to give the high-energy infielder a two-day break. Carlos Sanchez took Lawries place at second base. ... Ventura said theres no timetable on the return of RHP Zach Putnam (right elbow) or 35-year-old INF Justin Morneau, the 2006 AL MVP who is on a rehab stint with Triple-A Charlotte. ... The White Sox allowed a season-high tying 11 runs.UP NEXTTeheran (3-7, 2.72) faces Chicago LHP Jose Quintana (6-8, 3.06) in the second game of the series on Saturday. Quintana ended a nine-start winless streak (0-7) last Sunday at Houston. Teheran has never faced the White Sox and Quintana beat the Braves in his only career start against them.Anthony Munoz Jersey . Brad Jacobs and his Sault Ste.
