Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale has won the National League Pitcher of the Month award after dominating May. A series of unfortunate events allowed for the award to sting Boston Red Sox fans, in particular. The trade involving Sale looks less and less promising for the Sox. Ten of those strikeouts came on May 8, as Sale plowed through Boston's lineup to collect a season-best performance.
* When the Red Sox traded Chris Sale for Vaughn Grissom last December, it wasn't a deal made with 2024 in mind. Instead, it was a trade made with the future in mind. Grissom, 23, is under team control for this season and five more after that, ineligible for free agency until after the 2029 season. The Red Sox believed that they were acquiring their second baseman of the present and future.
The slumping Atlanta Braves offense finally got rolling on Saturday, but the starting pitching let them down in Atlanta's 11-9 loss to the Oakland Athletics. Braves starter Chris Sale was looking to win his eighth consecutive start, which would have tied the team's all-time high set by Russ Ortiz in 2003, but he instead was rocked for eight earned runs in four innings pitched.
