Chris Sale, 3 homers pace Braves' victory, sweep of Diamondbacks

The Atlanta Braves hit three home runs and left-hander Chris Sale won his Atlanta home debut Sunday as the Braves beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-2 and swept the three-game series.

Matt Olson, Michael Harris II and Austin Riley each went deep to spark the balanced offense and help the Braves secure their first three-game sweep of Arizona since July 29-31, 2022.

Sale (1-0) pitched 5 1/3 innings and allowed two runs on four hits and six strikeouts. He retired the first 10 batters he faced until Corbin Carroll looped a single to left with one out in the fourth.
