On August 28, 2026, Chris Sale pitched for the Atlanta Braves in their game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, leading to a 1-0 victory. Sale notched a complete-game shutout, the first of his career since 2019, primarily due to Drake Baldwin's solo homer in the first inning. He recorded a pitch reaching 100.1 mph while facing Shohei Ohtani, marking the first time since 2018 he exceeded 100 mph in a game. This performance strengthens Sale's candidacy for the Cy Young Award as the Braves eye a potential postseason match against the Dodgers.
