Travis d’Arnaud powers Braves past Padres

Travis d'Arnaud homered twice and knocked in four runs Sunday to help Chris Sale win his MLB-high 13th game as the visiting Atlanta Braves stopped the San Diego Padres 6-3. Sale (13-3) went five innings, allowing four hits and a run with two walks and four strikeouts. Four relievers got the final 12 outs, with closer Raisel Iglesias pitching the ninth inning to bag his 22nd save in 24 chances as Atlanta won for the sixth time in its last nine games. Randy Vasquez (2-5) absorbed the loss despite pitching decently in his five innings, allowing four hits and two runs with a walk and five punchouts.
