One hit over six innings? That’s ace behavior. Braves 5, Athletics 1 at Truist Park on Wednesday, April 1, 2026 leaned on Chris Sale: six innings, one hit, one run (a Shea Langeliers solo homer in the fourth), three strikeouts, game score 69. Dylan Baldwin singled home two in the second and doubled home two more in the fourth; Matt Olson singled Baldwin home for 5–1. AthX Engine logged 27 AthX FP for Sale and 18 for Baldwin (daily recap).
