Sale Shuts Down Dodgers in Sweep | Fayetteville News

The Braves just flexed big time, sweeping the Dodgers 3-0 in a statement win led by Chris Sale’s historic complete game shutout. Sale dominated with 11 strikeouts, five hits allowed, and not a single walk—his first shutout in over seven years, including a blistering 100 mph fastball. The only run came early on Drake Baldwin’s solo homer off Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who couldn’t overcome that one mistake. The Braves’ momentum is undeniable—they’ve now won five of six games against the Dodgers this season—and fans showed their faith by letting Sale close the ninth. While the Dodgers still lead their division, this loss stings. Both teams head into their next matchups hungry for redemption: Dodgers to Detroit, Braves facing the Rockies.
