Atlanta Braves ace Chris Sale was a late scratch for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader vs. the New York Mets due to back spasms with the Braves needing a win to advance to the playoffs.

Right-handed reliever Grant Holmes, who is 2-1 with a 3.78 ERA this season, got the start in Sale's place and pitched four scoreless innings en route to a 3-0 win.
