ATLANTA—Chris Sale allowed only three hits in six innings to earn his 11th win, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 3–1 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday night.

Sale (11–3) tied Kansas City’s Seth Lugo for the most wins in the major leagues, confirming his return to his early career form, when he won 11 or more games in seven consecutive seasons with the Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox.
