The Turning Point

The game was tightly contested until the ninth inning when the Braves turned the tide with an explosive performance.

On the pitching side for Atlanta, Chris Sale delivered a stellar performance from the mound with an ERA (earned run average) of 0.0 across four innings pitched, striking out batters at a rate of 11.25 per nine innings which significantly stifled Tampa Bay's offensive efforts early on.
