In this week’s wild-card showdown between the Braves and Phillies, where Atlanta prevailed in three games, Chris Sale was a workhorse. In Game 1, Sale posted playoff career highs with 6 ⅓ innings and nine strikeouts. On his throw day, which fell two days later in the deciding Game 3, Sale recorded the last four outs to help the Braves clinch their first playoff series win over the Phillies.
