Brewers' "paper cut" offense defeats Chris Sale, NL East-leading Braves in Friday's series opener

The Brewers defeated the NL East-leading Braves 2-1 behind Jacob Misiorowski's six-inning shutout in a matchup against Chris Sale on Friday. Milwaukee's offense manufactured both runs in the third inning through a series of singles, with William Contreras and Andrew Vaughn driving in the runs. The Brewers' approach of working deep counts and stringing together singles forced Sale to throw 23 pitches in the first inning alone, ultimately wearing down the veteran pitcher despite his quality start.
