The Atlanta Braves got one of their most-important wins of the season as Chris Sale builds on his Cy Young case.
The tight game saw Braves starter Chris Sale, who is contending for this season’s National League Cy Young, outduel the reigning Cy Young Winner, Blake Snell to keep the Braves in the game to win it.
His 12 strikeouts were a season high. Sale also sat down 16-straight batters between the first out in the second inning and two outs in the seventh. His 22 starts and 134 2/3 innings pitched so far are already his most since 2019 - comeback player of the year? There’s a case there too.
