Chris Sale Battles Illness to Secure Second Win of the Season

Chris Sale moved to 2-0 on the season, leading the Braves to a 5-1 victory over the Athletics. Despite being 'sick as a dog' and dealing with hampered velocity, Sale delivered a gritty performance, allowing just one run on one hit across six innings. He struck out three batters without issuing a walk, demonstrating veteran command while battling the flu. This outing reinforces his status as a vital component of the Atlanta rotation.
