Braves left-hander Chris Sale credits a different workout approach, more throwing and a muscle system specialist for his resurgence.

As Atlanta Braves star Chris Sale recorded a complete-game shutout against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night, there was one instance that caught fans off guard. The Braves’ pitcher would throw a 100-mile-per-hour pitch for the first time in eight years,

At the age of 37 years and 150 days, Atlanta Braves veteran lefty Chris Sale on Thursday night authored one of the best starts of his sterling career. Adding to the luster of his complete-game shutout is that he did it against back-to-back defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers,

Chris Sale dominated the Dodgers with a 1-0 shutout, striking out the side and silencing Shohei Ohtani. This performance cements his ace status for Atlanta.

Chris Sale struck out 11 in a five-hit shutout, Drake Baldwin launched a leadoff homer against Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and the Atlanta Braves edged the Los Angeles Dodgers 1-0 to complete a three-game sweep.

The 37-year-old Sale doesn’t have as much Cy Young hardware as Justin Verlander or Max Scherzer, but if he can pitch into his 40s like they have, his Hall of Fame case could look pretty solid. His career wins above replacement total — per Baseball Reference — roughly is the same as CC Sabathia’s. And Sabathia was voted in on the first ballot.

Drake Baldwin's first-pitch homer off Yoshinobu Yamamoto was all Chris Sale needed to shut out the Dodgers with 11 strikeouts and zero walks.

Chris Sale has put on three great performances in consecutive starts against the NL's top teams. It was the same on Friday night, but after the game he gave a huge shoutout.
