Sale’s Resurgence Powers Braves | MLB News

Chris Sale is dominating like never before, throwing his first shutout since 2019 and posting a career-best 2.06 ERA while striking out 11 and walking none against the Dodgers — a performance so elite it’s being called one of the best in MLB history. Drafted in 2010, the veteran lefty is proving age is just a number, outpacing even the stacked Dodgers’ rotation, which lacks a true ace like him. With injuries plaguing Atlanta’s other arms, Sale’s resurgence has become the Braves’ lifeline — solidifying his Hall of Fame case and positioning them as a serious playoff threat, even with a third-seed spot. If October started today, he’d be on the mound for a high-stakes matchup against a lineup that could challenge him — but not nearly as much as the Dodgers’ own shaky bullpen gamble.
