Chris Sale was absolutely dealing in Atlanta on Thursday, striking out eleven batters and picking up his eleventh win of the season as the Braves edged the Padres six to five. Sale hit a rough patch in the second inning, surrendering a three-run deficit, but the Braves clawed back and Dominic Smith delivered the blow that mattered most with a three-run homer to seal it.
Shifting to the NFL, the New York Giants are getting good news out of camp as wide receiver Malik Nabers is expected to avoid the physically unable to perform list. That's a significant development for a Giants offense that needs Nabers healthy and on the field from day one, keeping their passing game on track heading into the season.
And in Carolina, the Panthers have moved quickly to address a roster gap, agreeing to terms with outside linebacker Cam Gill following the injury to Nic Scourton. Scourton's absence created real urgency along the edge, and the Panthers wasted no time finding a body to fill that role as training camp competition heats up.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
