Chris Sale throws 100 mph for Atlanta Braves against Dodgers
Summary

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.
