The Atlanta Braves completed a three-game sweep of the Minnesota Twins with a 5-1 victory, highlighted by Chris Sale's impressive performance, marking his 15th win of the season. Sale pitched six innings, allowing only one run and tying for the league lead with 197 strikeouts. Jorge Soler contributed with an early homer and a key assist from right field, while Matt Olson and Luke Williams helped break the game open with a four-run seventh inning. The Braves have now won nine of their last 11 games, narrowing the gap to five games behind the NL East leader, Philadelphia. In contrast, the Twins suffered their eighth straight series loss to an NL team, showcasing struggles both offensively and defensively. Rookie pitcher David Festa had a solid outing but was let down by the bullpen, continuing Minnesota's recent woes.
