It was an exciting Wednesday night for Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale as besides facing his former team in the Boston Red Sox, he was marvelous in the outing leading to a 5-0 shutout victory for the home team in Truist Park. Sale spoke after the game about the performance and what it was like wearing a Braves uniform taking down the team he was previously on for six seasons and made countless memories with.
The 35-year old pitcher was dynamite in the outing as he went six innings, allowing six hits, walked a batter once, and struck out 10 Red Sox hitters while also earning zero earned runs.
