Atlanta Braves

 Chris Sale allowed only five hits in seven innings to continue his strong run and the Atlanta Braves snapped their season-worst, four-game losing streak by beating the San Diego Padres 3-0 on Monday night to split a doubleheader.  The Padres won the first three games of the series. Manny Machado’s two-run double in the eighth gave San Diego the lead and the Padres rallied from a five-run deficit to win the twinbill opener, 6-5.  Up next for the Braves: Right-hander Charlie Morton (3-1, 3.52) will face right-hander Javier Assad (4-0, 1.49) when the Braves open a three-game series at the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night at 7:40pm.
