With two home runs from Ozuna and strong pitching from Sale, the Atlanta Braves defeat the Boston Red Sox 5-0.
Marcell Ozuna smashed two more home runs to cap off an incredible day, while Chris Sale pitched six innings against his old team. This helped the Atlanta Braves defeat the Boston Red Sox 5-0 on Wednesday night, sweeping their two-game series.
After struggling in his first start since returning from the disabled list, Nick Pivetta gave up a solo home run in the third inning, which was Ozuna’s first home run.
With his 11th and 12th home runs of the season, “Big Bear” Ozuna passed Shohei Ohtani to take the lead in home runs in Major League Baseball. With 38 RBIs, he also leads the league in that category.
Chris Sale strikes out the hitter.
Despite the chants of “MVP! MVP!” from Truist Park spectators during his last at-bat, Ozuna stayed composed and modest.
Regardless of achievement, Ozuna emphasized the value of maintaining a grounded mindset in his reflections on his path. Considering his problems from a year ago, when his future with the Braves appeared questionable, this mental turnaround is huge.
Despite a first-round World Series victory, Sale’s time with the Red Sox from 2018 to 2023 was marred by injuries. The pitcher had a new beginning when he was traded to Atlanta during the recent winter.
