Summary
Young Red Sox lefty Payton Tolle, just 23 and in his second pro season, squared off against his former team’s legendary ace Chris Sale — now pitching for the Braves — in a thrilling, high-stakes duel. Tolle, boasting a stellar 2.61 ERA and just 10 starts under his belt, held his own against Sale, who was throwing his hardest fastball in years at age 37. Both pitchers struck out 15 batters combined, and the game stayed tied until Tolle exited. But the Red Sox bullpen collapsed, surrendering eight runs as the Braves cruised to a 10-2 win. It’s a reminder that baseball’s momentum can shift in an instant — even when the future looks bright, the present can be brutal.
