Sale Dominates, Braves Sweep Dodgers | Atlanta Braves News

Atlanta crushed the Dodgers 1-0 in a masterpiece performance by Chris Sale, who threw a complete-game shutout with 11 strikeouts and only 5 hits — including a 100 mph fastball against Shohei Ohtani, his first such pitch in eight years. The lone run came on a leadoff homer by Drake Baldwin in the first inning. The win completed a three-game sweep, putting Atlanta just one game behind second place in the NL — potentially skipping the wild card and securing a full rest before playoffs. Sale’s record now stands at 13-9 with a stellar 2.06 ERA, stepping up as a rock for a shaky Braves rotation. They’re on a homestand, facing Colorado this weekend, with Sale next scheduled to face the Giants — setting the stage for an electric stretch run.
