Braves vs Dodgers

The Atlanta Braves achieved a commanding 10-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, with Chris Sale earning his major league-leading 17th win by striking out six and allowing only one run. Sale's performance set a franchise record with 17 straight starts allowing no more than two earned runs, surpassing Greg Maddux's previous mark. Meanwhile, the Dodgers struggled offensively, with Shohei Ohtani going hitless in his last two games, stalling his historic chase for 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season. In a prior game, Gio Urshela contributed to a 6-2 victory with a two-run homer, while Jorge Soler also hit a home run, helping the Braves stay competitive in the wild-card chase. The Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow is unlikely to return this season due to ongoing elbow issues, further complicating their playoff aspirations. The Braves now sit just one game behind the Mets for the final NL wild-card spot.
