May 17 - Matt Olson and Sean Murphy hit back-to-back home runs in the third inning, and Chris Sale's seven innings of one-run ball made them stand up as the visiting Atlanta Braves defeated the Boston Red Sox 4-2 on Friday night.
The home runs were part of 2-for-4 nights for both Olson and Murphy in the opener of a three-game series.
Sale (2-3) struck out eight and allowed just five hits and two walks en route to winning his second straight outing against the Red Sox since being traded away in 2023.
Daysbel Hernandez and Raisel Iglesias closed out the game, though the latter allowed a Trevor Story RBI single before recording his eighth save.
