Atlanta Braves

It was an exciting Wednesday night for Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale as besides facing his former team in the Boston Red Sox, he was marvelous in the outing leading to a 5-0 shutout victory for the home team in Truist Park. Sale spoke after the game about the performance and what it was like wearing a Braves uniform taking down the team he was previously on for six seasons and made countless memories with. The 35-year old pitcher was dynamite in the outing as he went six innings, allowing six hits, walked a batter once, and struck out 10 Red Sox hitters while also earning zero earned runs. “The first few innings was getting into some deep counts,” Sale said to reporters as it was seen on NESN's postgame coverage.

If the early league-wide returns offer evidence that it’s only going to take 84 wins or so, as it did last year, to reach the postseason, there are plenty of reasons to believe the Mets should be able to stay in the Wild Card hunt.

Marcell Ozuna kept up his torrid start with two more homers and Chris Sale pitched six innings against his former team, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 5-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox and a sweep of their two-game interleague series Wednesday night. Ozuna hit a three-run shot in the first inning and added a solo drive in the third off Nick Pivetta, who was roughed up in his first start since coming off the injured list. The slugger known as “Big Bear” passed Shohei Ohtani for the MLB lead with his 11th and 12th homers, and he also tops the big leagues with 38 RBIs. Ozuna shrugged off the adulation, which is a far cry from a year ago when he was struggling badly and his time in Atlanta appeared to be winding down.

Chris Sale started for the Braves against the Red Sox on Wednesday night and was lights out against his former team.
