Chris Sale made a Cy Young-caliber statement on the mound, throwing a complete-game shutout as the Braves completed a sweep of the Dodgers. Per CBS Sports, the victory gave Atlanta significant ground on Los Angeles in the NL postseason picture.

The loss marks another rough stretch for the Dodgers, who per True Blue LA dropped all three games in Atlanta. Los Angeles had suffered a similar fate two weeks prior, when the Milwaukee Brewers took three of four games in Los Angeles. The Dodgers face an easier road ahead, per Eric Stephen's reporting, with three sweeps among their remaining 18 games on the schedule.
