Chris Sale Shakes Off Illness and Turns in Another Dominant Start for the Braves
- On Wednesday, the Atlanta Braves defeated the Athletics 5-1, concluding their season-opening homestand. Drake Baldwin drove in 4 runs with two-out hits while Chris Sale pitched one-hit ball over 6 innings.

- Friday night, the Athletics return home to host the Astros, with left-hander Jeffrey Springs scheduled to pitch the home opener as the team seeks to improve on its 1-5 start.
