Chris Sale Fans Nine in Return as Braves Lose to Phillies in 10 Innings

The reigning NL Cy Young winner came back from a June rib fracture to bolster Atlanta’s rotation.

Overview

  • Atlanta reinstated Sale from the 60-day injured list and started him against Philadelphia after three Triple-A rehab outings that totaled 10 2/3 innings with three runs allowed, 11 strikeouts and three walks.
  • Sale delivered six innings of one-run ball on 78 pitches with nine strikeouts and one walk in his first MLB start since June 18.
  • The Braves optioned right-hander Nathan Wiles to Triple-A Gwinnett as the corresponding roster move.
  • Philadelphia won 3-2 in the 10th inning on Trea Turner’s two-run walk-off single after Atlanta plated the automatic runner in the top half.
  • Sale had been sidelined since fracturing his left rib cage on a June 18 play against the Mets, returning to a 2025 ledger that stood at 5-4 with a 2.52 ERA before the injury.
