The Atlanta Braves have clinched the series over the Chicago Cubs with consecutive shutouts.
The Atlanta Braves used some big hits and an absolute lockdown outing from starter Chris Sale to win game two against the Chicago Cubs, 7-0, in Truist Park on Tuesday night.Sale went seven scoreless innings against the Cubs, allowing only four total baserunners . He struck out nine and exited after 92 pitches . His home scoreless streak is now up to nineteen innings after this one.
Just giving the line somehow still doesn’t encompass how dominant the outing was - Sale allowed only three hard-hit balls to Cubs hitters while racking up fifteen whiffs and a 33% CSW. Only one runner even made it to second base off of Sale, with the lefty immediately stranding him with a strikeout to end the inning.Contributions came from all over the lineup, starting with a Matt Olson RBI double in the first inning, but the fourth inning is where Atlanta really poured it on.
The Braves have held the Cubs scoreless for the first two games of this series. If you’re thinking that’s not a very common thing in baseball, you’d be right. Only one other team has had consecutive shutouts this season - the Cleveland Guardians shut out the Chicago White Sox and the Texas Rangers .this season - Atlanta blanked the Miami Marlins in consecutive games on April 22nd and 23rd. Atlanta's team ERA for the season is now down to 3.29, good for 5th in baseball, and the last thirty days have seen Atlanta put up an 2.42, good for 2nd in baseball.
