Braves beat Phillies 5-2 as Chris Sale outduels Cristopher Sánchez
Atlanta’s Chris Sale outdueled Cristopher Sánchez, pitching a strong game in a matchup of two elite pitchers, leading the Braves to a 5-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night. This win extended the Braves' lead in the NL East to five games. Ronald Acuña and Mauricio Dubón contributed significantly to the Braves' success with three hits, a drive-in run, and a home run respectively.
Alec Bohm was the hero for the Phillies, hitting two home runs and driving in two runs, but it was not enough to secure a win as the Braves maintained their winning streak. Sale, who currently sits second in the NL in ERA at 2.10, allowed two runs in six innings, striking out seven while walking only one.
