Chris Sale nearly goes distance as Braves blank Mets
June 19 - Chris Sale pitched 8 2/3 strong innings and the Atlanta Braves blanked the visiting New York Mets 5-0 on Wednesday. The Braves have taken the first two games of the three-game series and have won five of their last six. The Mets have lost five straight games, their longest skid of the season. The Atlanta offense was sparked by home runs from Ronald Acuna Jr., his eighth, and Matt Olson, his 15th. Sale (5-4) allowed five hits, walked one and struck out seven but fell one out short of notching his first complete game and shutout since 2019. He was removed after Brandon Nimmo hit a two-out pop fly single. Raisel Iglesias got Luis Torrens to ground into a fielder's choice, nailing down Atlanta's fourth shutout of the season. New York starter Paul Blackburn (0-1) was lifted after 3 2/3 innings and 73 pitches. He allowed four runs, three earned, on four hits and two walks with two strikeouts as his ERA soared to 6.92. The Braves jumped on top with three runs in the first inning. Acuna hit Blackburn's first pitch of the game for a home run, a blast that traveled 419 feet to straightaway center field. Alex Verdugo singled, Austin Riley walked, and both advanced on a groundout. Verdugo scored when a pitch bounced away and catcher Torrens tried to stop it with his mask, an infraction that allowed both runners to advance. Riley came home on Marcell Ozuna's sacrifice fly to shallow center field. Atlanta upped the lead to 4-0 in the fourth inning. Ozzie Albies doubled, went to third on a grounder and scored when reliever Jose Butto fired a wild pitch that nearly hit batter Nick Allen as it went to the screen. Olson crushed a slider for a solo homer in the seventh inning, a 412-foot bomb off Ty Adcock, for a 5-0 lead. Olson, who finished 2-for-4, has reached safely in 19 consecutive games. New York's Jeff McNeil went 1-for-3 and has reached safely in his last 20 games, the longest active streak in the majors. --Field Level Media

Eric Lauer fans eight as Blue Jays cruise past Diamondbacks
June 19 - Eric Lauer struck out a season-best eight, Bo Bichette homered among three hits and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks 8-1 on Wednesday night. Lauer (3-1) allowed one run, four hits and one walk in five-plus innings to help the Blue Jays clinch the three-game series with one to play. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had two hits, three walks and three RBIs, Bichette had two RBIs, Addison Barger had three hits and an RBI and Ernie Clement had three hits for Toronto. Bichette started Toronto's first with a homer to center on a 1-0 sinker from Eduardo Rodriguez (2-4). Toronto added a run in the third. Tyler Heineman singled, Barger doubled with one out and Guerrero was walked intentionally to load the bases. With two out, Jose Herrera was called for catcher's interference on George Springer's swing to force in a run. Toronto loaded the bases with no outs in the fifth and did not score. Bichette lined a single to left, Barger blooped a single to left and Guerrero walked. Bichette was out at home on Alejandro Kirk's grounder to third and Springer struck out before Tayler Scott entered to retire Clement on a fly to left. Rodriguez allowed two runs (one earned), six hits and three walks (one intentional) with four strikeouts. Yariel Rodriguez replaced Lauer in the sixth after Corbin Carroll's leadoff triple to the right-field corner. Carroll scored on Lourdes Gurriel Jr.'s groundout to third. Toronto scored three in the bottom of the inning. Pinch hitter Alan Roden hit a one-out infield single deflected by Scott and Bichette singled to right on a sweeping swing on an outside pitch. Barger doubled in one run and Guerrero doubled in two more. Toronto added three more in the seventh against Kevin Ginkel after loading the bases on Clement's double, a hit batter and a walk. Heineman hit a sacrifice fly, Bichette's groundout to the pitcher scored a run and Guerrero's single scored another. Carroll left the game in the eighth after being hit in the left hand by a Justin Bruihl fastball. The Diamondbacks announced that X-rays on Carroll's hand were negative. Arizona catcher Gabriel Moreno (hand) did not play. Toronto's Myles Straw (sprained ankle) and Jonatan Clase (bruised knee) are considered day-to-day. --Field Level Media
