Marcell Ozuna kept up his torrid start with two more homers and Chris Sale pitched six innings against his former team, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 5-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox and a sweep of their two-game interleague series Wednesday night.
Chris Sale - The Canadian PressATLANTA —
Sale pitched for the Red Sox from 2018-23 — a tenure that began with a World Series championship but was largely marred by injuries before he was traded to Atlanta this past winter. Ozuna's second two-homer game of the year gave him 12 homers and 38 RBIs — both tops in the big leagues — along with a .315 batting average. He nearly made it three homers on the night, flying out to the warning track his final time up.
Matt Olson reached on a dribbler that went for an infield hit, and Ozuna followed with a 372-foot shot that barely cleared the right-field wall. Three pitches later, Arcia made it back-to-back homers with another opposite-field shot to right.
