Episode Details

Chris Sale delivered a historic masterpiece, tossing a complete-game shutout against the Dodgers while striking out 11, walking none, and allowing just five hits—his best performance since 2018. At 37 years and 150 days old, he joins an elite group of pitchers who’ve achieved 10+ strikeouts with zero walks at that age or older. The Braves’ only run came from Drake Baldwin’s leadoff homer in the first inning, sealing the win. This victory also makes Sale the fourth-oldest Braves pitcher in the last 40 years to throw a shutout, joining legends like Dennis Martinez and John Smoltz. On his personal milestone night, Sale threw his fastest pitch since 2018, earned his fourth career shutout (first since 2019), and improved his ERA to 2.06—showcasing a remarkable late-career resurgence.
