Chris Sale Struggles in NLDS Game 3 Loss to Dodgers

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale recorded seven strikeouts against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 of the NLDS, but surrendered two home runs in the fourth inning, including a two-run blast by Kiké Hernández and a solo shot to Freddie Freeman. Sale's struggles put the Braves in a 3-0 hole, leading to a 3-1 defeat that pushes Atlanta to the brink of postseason elimination. Lefties historically struggle against Sale's unique arm slot and nasty stuff.
