Braves' Chris Sale flashes All-Star potential in spring training debut

After making a total of 31 starts over the last three seasons with the Boston Red Sox, Atlanta Braves pitcher Chris Sale looked healthy and dominant in his Atlanta spring training debut on Tuesday.

Sale pitched two innings in the Braves' game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and looked like the vintage Sale of old, according to David O'Brien of The Athletic:

“His Braves spring debut couldn't have gone much better for Chris Sale, who fired two perfect innings with four strikeouts vs. the Pirates. Struck out the side in the second inning — swinging, foul tip, swinging.
