If you can remove the old boot flavor of a brutal loss from your mouth, you have to admit that Monday’s game between the San Francisco Giants and Atlanta Braves was a whole lot of fun. Blake Snell and Chris Sale treated us to one of the greatest pitchers’ duels we’ll ever see, with the former striking out 11 batters over 6.1 innings and taking a no-hitter into the seventh, and the latter striking out 12 hitters in seven strong innings.
It was just another moment of dominance for Snell, who has pitched at the absolute highest level lately.
