ATLANTA (AP) — Travis d’Arnaud hit his first three home runs of the season, including a grand slam in the sixth that gave Atlanta the lead, and the Braves beat the Texas Rangers 8-3 on Friday night for their fifth straight win.
Chris Sale (2-1) allowed three runs and five hits in seven innings in the interleague matchup of first-place teams, but the left-hander didn’t want to talk about his pitching.
“To be honest, nobody cares,” Sale said. “We’re here to talk about one thing and one thing only. Tonight was about Travis, and that was nothing short of electric.”
After driving in six runs with the three homers, d’Arnaud said “Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.”
Adolis García’s two-run double off Sale in the sixth tied it at 3.
Rangers left-hander Jacob Latz (0-1) issued one-out walks to Matt Olson and Marcell Ozuna before a single by Michael Harris II loaded the bases for the NL East-leading Braves. D’Arnaud lined a fastball from Latz 433 feet to left-center for his third career grand slam and second three-homer game.
