Chris Sale outdueled Zac Gallen with 5 1/3 solid innings, Adam Duvall hit a three-run homer and the Atlanta Braves beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-2 on Tuesday night for their fourth straight win.
Duvall connected for his three-run shot in the sixth, extending Atlanta’s lead to 5-0. The 441-foot homer was launched deep into the left field seats, ending Gallen’s night in frustration."We’re getting some timely hits," Duvall said. "Tonight, we had runners on a lot. So we were defintely putting some pressure on and hopefully we can continue to do that."It was a good moment in a tough season for Duvall, who came into the game hitting just .184 with seven homers.
Considering this is his eighth All-Star appearance, Sale said that wasn’t a problem."The most important thing is this team and winning games for this team," Sale said. "We’ve got our eyes on the prize and that’s the most important thing."Gallen gave up five runs, including four earned, over 5 1/3 innings. The right-hander gave up seven hits and a walk while striking out four."The gears were grinding the entire day," D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said.
