"The win wasn't exactly pretty, as you could see by the updates , Ozzie Albies fractured the hamate bone in his left hand after fouling off a pitch in the third inning. Nick Allen was able to swoop in and take his place at second, however, Albies will be getting further testing immediately, but isn't likely to return for the remainder of the season, which will include five more games."
"Chris sale gave up four earned runs through five innings, three hit-by-pitches and 80 total pitches. Not the best performance for the former Cy Young winner, luckily the offense was able to back him up. Ronald Acuña Jr. started it off with a homer in the first inning, tying the scoreboard with Washington (1-1). From then on, the offense decided to keep it going as Michael Harris II came up with a RBI double in the second to bring Ha-Seong Kim in."
The Braves extended a winning streak to nine games but missed playoff contention for the first time since 2017. Ozzie Albies fractured the hamate bone in his left hand fouling off a pitch and is unlikely to return for the remaining five games; Nick Allen replaced him at second. Chris Sale allowed four earned runs, hit three batters, and threw 80 pitches across five innings. Atlanta produced a potent offense: Ronald Acuña Jr. hit a first-inning homer, Michael Harris II delivered an RBI double and three stolen bases, and contributions from Drake Baldwin and Marcell Ozuna helped build an 11-5 victory while defense remained solid.
