Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale recorded his Major League-leading 12th win of the season in the Braves 6-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
Chris Sale recorded his MLB-leading 12th win in the Atlanta Braves' 6-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Sale was acquired from the Boston Red Sox in a trade this offseason, and was named to the National League All-Star team on Sunday – marking his eighth career All-Star team. Over the last four seasons with the Red Sox, Sale pitched a combined 151 innings due to numerous injuries, but has regained his ace status this season with the Braves.
It wasn’t always smooth sailing for Sale on Tuesday as he loaded the bases in the first inning before eventually getting Jake McCarthy to ground out to escape the frame scoreless. 'Tonight was a grind,' Sale said. 'Once I got out of that first inning I was like, all right, let’s take a deep breath, refocus and get back to it.' Sale would settle down and give the Braves 5 1/3 solid innings while giving up two runs on five hits and striking out nine batters.
