No runs on Sale, Dodgers leave Atlanta with empty pockets
Unable to score a run off Chris Sale at the top of his game, the Dodgers were outdone by the Braves in a battle of aces
Atlanta Braves defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 1-0 in a pitching-dominated game at Truist Park. Chris Sale, a key player for the Braves, pitched a complete game shutout and struck out Shohei Ohtani for the second time in the game. The Dodgers struggled to score, with only one home run by Drake Baldwin in the first inning. Despite some success from Mookie Betts and a strikeout of Ohtani, the Dodgers' lineup failed to capitalize on the opportunities presented by the dominant pitching duo of Sale and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
