Chris Sale struck out 11 over six innings, allowing three earned runs on five hits and a walk as the Braves edged the Padres 6-5. A misplay by Mauricio Dubón in left field helped the Padres' two-run second inning, but Sale limited further damage and the Braves answered with a four-run fourth highlighted by Dominic Smith’s three-run homer and solo shots by Michael Harris II, Ozzie Albies, and Drake Baldwin. Harris, Albies, and Smith homered, with Baldwin recording his 19th homer, and Raisel Iglesias earned the save as Sale improved to 11-6. The win clinched a four-game series with three wins for Atlanta and pushed the Braves to 60-42, extending their NL East lead to 4.5 games. A BravesVision moment correctly predicting Sale’s 11th strikeout added a memorable broadcast note.
