Atlanta Braves Defeat San Francisco Giants 3-1

Chris Sale led the Atlanta Braves to a 3-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants by allowing only three hits and striking out nine over six innings, earning his 11th win of the season. This ties him with Kansas City's Seth Lugo for the most wins in the majors and marks Sale's most victories since 2018. Austin Riley contributed with a two-run double, while Adam Duvall added an RBI double. The Giants managed just one run off a Matt Chapman double, and their offense was largely stifled by Sale and three Braves relievers. Sale's performance bolstered his case for being named the National League's starting pitcher in the upcoming All-Star Game.
