Chris Sale Continues to Make History in First Season with Atlanta Braves
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale is turning in a historic year in his first season with the organization.
Sale, who was traded from the Boston Red Sox to the Braves this past offseason, has been one of the best stories in baseball and could position himself to win Comeback Player of the Year. After being largely unhealthy from 2020-2023, Sale has been named to the National League All-Star team because of his incredible year.
Per @OptaSTATS on social media:
For the second time this season, Chris Sale is on a five-game streak with 7+ strikeouts and two or fewer runs allowed.
No other @Braves pitcher in the modern era has even one such streak of at least five games.

Sale has gone 11-3 this season for Atlanta with a 2.71 ERA. After being traded from the Red Sox this offseason, Sale signed a contract extension to stay with the Braves. His dominance has helped cover up for the absence of starting pitcher Spencer Strider, who is out for the season with Tommy John surgery.
This will be Sale’s eighth All-Star apperance and first with the National League group. He’s played in 14 seasons with the Chicago White Sox, Red Sox and Braves. One of the best strikeout artists of all time, he’s 131-83 with a 3.08 ERA. He helped the Red Sox win the 2018 World Series and led baseball in strikeouts during the 2017 season.
The Braves will be back in action on Tuesday night when they take on the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. First pitch is set for 9:40 p.m. ET as Sale pitches against Zac Gallen.

A program that teaches young Atlantans how to ride bikes suffered a major loss this week, after thieves emptied a storage trailer, making off with 26 bikes and 24 helmets.
The “Shifting Gears” program helps young cyclists learn how to navigate city streets on two wheels from an early age — particularly in underserved communities that suffer from high rates of traffic injuries and fatalities.

An Atlanta nonprofit is asking the public for help after it was the victim of a brazen theft earlier this week.
Propel ATL said that thieves cleared out an entire trailer of bicycles meant for underprivileged kids sometime on Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.
Jeremiah Jones, the nonprofit’s advocacy manager, said that someone broke into the trailer and took 26 bikes and 24 helmets.
The equipment was part of a program that gives bikes to children from low-income schools and teaches them how to ride.
“My heart sank when I got the call that all the bikes were gone. I said, ‘Surely not all of them.’ And all of them are gone,” Jones said. “This class is solely for kids, and this crime is affecting them.”
Atlanta police are reviewing security footage from the area. Jones said you could see people taking the bikes out of the trailer, carrying them down a hill, and bringing them into a nearby parking lot.
The nonprofit is now trying to raise more than $10,000 to replace the bikes.
Propel ATL is also asking who may have information about the theft to contact them at programs@letspropelatl.org.
A man was arrested at a concert last week after he shoved two kids off their bicycles, causing one of them to fall into a fountain, Sandy Springs police said. FOX 5 Atlanta’s Brittany Edney reporting.
