Chris Sale, who has fought to stay healthy for the last few seasons, has found himself again with the Atlanta Braves. As a result of a sterling first half of the season, Sale was named an All-Star and is all over the team history books.
The Atlanta Braves beat the San Diego Padres 6-3 on Sunday afternoon to head into the All-Star break with some momentum.
The Braves are currently 53-42 on the year and they are in second place in the National League East. The Padres are now 50-49 on the season and continue to put themselves in position for a National League wild card berth. Veteran left-hander Chris Sale continued his awesome first half of the season with a win on Sunday, going 5.0 innings and allowing one run on four hits. He struck out four in moving to 13-3 on the season with a 2.70 ERA.
Sale, who was traded to the Braves this past offseason, has been a Godsend for Atlanta, who is trying to overcome the loss of ace of Spencer Strider. Sale was injured for most of 2020-2023 with the Boston Red Sox but now healthy, he's back to looking like the Cy Young candidate that he was for so many years. He was named an All-Star this season as well, but won't be pitching in the game.
will be off until Friday for the All-Star break. They'll come back with a weekend series against the St. Louis Cardinals.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
