Chris Sale cruises in Braves' 10-1 win over Dodgers

September 15 - Chris Sale allowed one run and five hits in six innings to help the Atlanta Braves to a 10-1 win against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers in the second game of their four-game series on Saturday night.

Sale (17-3), who's trying to become the first National League pitcher since Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw in 2011 to lead the league in wins, ERA and strikeouts, fanned six and walked two while lowering his ERA to 2.35.

Matt Olson and Orlando Arcia each delivered three-run doubles for the Braves (81-67), who have pulled back even with the New York Mets for the final wild-card berth in the NL.
