Chris Sale Leads Braves to 10-1 Victory Over Dodgers, Ties Mets for Wild-Card Spot

Sale earns his 17th win, surpasses Maddux's franchise record, and stifles Ohtani's historic bid.

Chris Sale allowed one run and struck out six over six innings, securing his major league-leading 17th win of the season.
Sale has not been charged with a loss since June 27 and has now surpassed Greg Maddux's franchise record by allowing no more than two earned runs in 17 straight starts.
Atlanta Braves are now tied with the New York Mets for the final NL wild-card spot after the Mets lost to the Phillies.
Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-4, stalling in his quest to be the first player in MLB history to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a season.
The Braves scored six runs in the sixth inning, highlighted by Matt Olson's bases-loaded double and RBIs from Whit Merrifield and Michael Harris II.
