Acuña hits grand slam and Sale beats former team again as Braves trounce Red Sox 10-2

Ronald Acuña Jr. hit his fourth career grand slam and Chris Sale struck out eight in five innings as the Atlanta Braves defeated the Boston Red Sox 10-2, improving to 38-19 — the best record in the majors. Sale, traded by Boston before the 2024 season, is now 3-0 against his former club; the last-place Red Sox (23-32) closed a 1-5 homestand to chants of "Sell the team!" from Fenway fans.
