Chris Sale’s Cy Young Charge | Atlanta Braves News

Chris Sale is back at elite levels, tossing a 100 mph fastball and shutting down the Dodgers with a complete game, 11 strikeouts, and just five hits — dropping his ERA to 2.06 and putting him in Cy Young contention. After Tommy John surgery and doubts about his future, he’s silenced critics with a dominant resurgence since joining the Braves, even winning Cy Young in 2024. At 37, his Hall of Fame case is heating up, especially if he keeps this up into his 40s like CC Sabathia. He’s locked in for next season with Atlanta, who are on fire — undefeated this week, extending their streak to seven games and holding the NL East lead. Meanwhile, Pete Crow-Armstrong is powering MVP talks with his home runs, and the Reds pulled off a jaw-dropping ninth-inning comeback with seven runs.
