Braves Avoid the Sweep in Seattle Winning 5-2

Chris Sale allowed one run over five innings and struck out nine, Austin Riley had the big blow at the plate with a two-run triple, and the Atlanta Braves salvaged the final game of a three-game series with a 5-2 win over the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. The NL East-leading Braves rebounded after suffering back-to-back defeats for the first time this season with another strong start from Sale and Atlanta's offense taking advantage of an error to score four unearned runs off Seattle starter Emerson Hancock.
