⚾ Braves
🔥 Braves demolish D-backs 17-2 with 8-run 5th: Atlanta exploded in Arizona last night. Drake Baldwin matched Hank Aaron in the Braves' record book by crossing home plate in a historic fashion, plating 4 RBIs on the night (and getting robbed of a HR). Austin Riley doubled in runs during the massive 5th inning.
⚡ Albies' ABS challenge sparks the rally: Ozzie Albies won an ABS challenge call that extended the inning, and the Braves made the D-backs pay with the 8-run explosion.
💪 Sale dominant despite battling illness: Chris Sale allowed just one run in six innings in his second start of 2026, pumping 98+ mph despite not feeling 100%. Two starts, two gems.
🔄 Update: Pérez making case for rotation spot: After being added to the roster earlier this week, Martín Pérez threw scoreless long relief that may have earned him a turn in the Braves' rotation — a boost for the injury-thin pitching staff.
📊 Record: 6-2 | Tonight: @ Arizona, 9:40 PM ET (Apple TV)
