July 9 - The Atlanta Braves pushed back the start of All-Star left-hander Chris Sale by one day, setting up a stellar pitching matchup against Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen when the teams meet Tuesday night in Phoenix.
Sale (11-3, 2.71 ERA) is tied for the major league lead in victories. Gallen (6-4, 3.06) finished third in National League Cy Young Award balloting last season.
Sale was listed to start Monday, but the Braves scratched him in favor of right-hander Bryce Elder four-plus hours before first pitch. Elder was promoted from Triple-A Gwinnett, and he threw five-plus innings of three-run ball.
