Chris Sale posts MLB-leading 12th victory for Atlanta Braves

PHOENIX -- Chris Sale outdueled Zac Gallen with 5 1/3 solid innings, Adam Duvall hit a three-run homer and the Atlanta Braves beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-2 on Tuesday night for their fourth straight win.

Duvall connected for his three-run shot in the sixth, extending Atlanta's lead to 5-0. The 441-foot homer was launched deep into the left field seats, ending Gallen's night in frustration.

"We're getting some timely hits," Duvall said. "Tonight, we had runners on a lot. So we were definitely putting some pressure on and hopefully we can continue to do that.
