"The Braves got a dominate start from staff ace and reigning Cy Young winner Chris Sale and the offense chipped in late with a 3-run 8th inning rally to send the Mariners to their 13th loss in 18 games. The Mariners have one of the most powerful lineups in baseball, boasting 170 homers from the top 5 hitters in their order, and Chris Sale decided he didn't much care tonight, dominating them all evening."
"After a scoreless first inning with two strikeouts for Sale, it looked like the Braves were going to put up a crooked number immediately, loading the bases with no one out after a double, walk and single to start the bottom of the first. Drake Baldwin stuck out but newcomer Ha-Seong Kim lifted a 350 ft fly ball to center for a sacrifice fly to get one run on the board, though the threat ended when Michael Harris struck out to end the inning."
Chris Sale delivered a dominant start, tossing 6 2/3 innings with nine strikeouts, four hits allowed and one earned run. The Braves scored first on a sacrifice fly in the opening inning after loading the bases. Sale retired batters through multiple scoreless frames but hit Randy Arozarena and allowed a two-out double in the third without yielding runs. Dylan Lee surrendered two two-out singles in the seventh that produced the tying run. In the eighth, Jurickson Profar doubled, Matt Olson delivered a go-ahead RBI single and Ozzie Albies added an RBI triple to complete a three-run rally.
