Fresh off his first Cy Young Award, Chris Sale kicked off spring training in style, delivering two perfect innings for the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. Sale faced six batters and retired them all without issuing any walks or striking out anyone, showcasing his precision and efficiency on the mound. Despite his stellar performance, the Braves fell to the Minnesota Twins, 3-1, in the game.
Entering his second year with the Braves, the 35-year-old left-hander is coming off a remarkable season in which he went 18-3 with a 2.38 ERA and 225 strikeouts, earning him the National League's pitching Triple Crown and the Cy Young Award. Sale's ability to stay healthy and make 29 starts last season, the most since 2017, was a key factor in his success. On Saturday, Sale threw 21 pitches, 14 of which were strikes, setting a positive tone for his 2025 campaign.
