Chris Sale’s Historic Braves Run | Atlanta Braves News

Chris Sale is on fire for the Braves, earning his 10th All-Star selection while posting a stunning 2.27 ERA through 16 starts — a mark that could make him the best pitcher 37+ in Braves history through 17 starts. Only John Smoltz in 2005 came close, and Sale may join an elite club of late-30s aces like Scherzer and Verlander who’ve kept ERAs under 2.30 through their first 17 starts this decade. His last 13 outings? A blistering 1.94 ERA, with his fastball hitting 96.7 mph — the fastest it’s been since his injury-plagued 2019. Sale’s clearly found a new gear, and it’s been consistent.
