Chris Sale’s Strong Performance Not Enough Against Rockies
Despite a strong outing from Chris Sale, who struck out 10 and allowed only five hits over 7.0 innings, the Atlanta Braves lost 2-1 to the Colorado Rockies, ending the Rockies’ eight-game losing streak. The Rockies’ rookie pitcher Chase Dollander matched Sale’s performance, yielding just two hits and one run in 5.2 innings. This was Sale’s best start of the season, lowering his ERA to 4.84, as Atlanta struggled offensively against the Rockies’ pitchers, who only allowed three hits and three walks.
