Chris Sale allowed one run over seven-plus dominant innings and the visiting Atlanta Braves hit three homers to snap a seven-game losing streak with a 7-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday.

Matt Olson and Eli White each hit a two-run homer and Ronald Acuna Jr. belted a solo homer for the Braves, who had lost 14 of their previous 17 games.

Sale (4-4) allowed five hits, struck out a season-high 11 and walked two in a 103-pitch outing. It was the 91st time in his career that he struck out at least 10.

Raisel Iglesias completed a scoreless eighth, and Dylan Lee finished with a perfect ninth.

Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies singled in the sixth and eighth innings, giving him 1,000 career hits and extending his career-high on-base streak to 24 games.

Austin Riley had three hits for the Braves, and Marcell Ozuna added two hits.

Milwaukee starter Aaron Civale (1-2) yielded two runs on five hits and two walks in 4 2/3 innings. He struck out five.

Atlanta erased a 1-0 deficit with three runs in the fifth. Acuna tied it with his fifth homer, a one-out solo shot to right-center. Riley doubled with two outs, chasing Civale. DL Hall relieved, and Olson sent his first pitch 417 feet to center for his 14th homer.

White made it 5-1 in the eighth with his third homer. Atlanta’s Ozuna added a two-run single in the ninth.

Milwaukee has lost three of its last four games, scoring just one run total in the three defeats.

The Brewers took a 1-0 lead in the third when Joey Ortiz opened with a double into the right field corner, advanced to third on a flyout and scored on William Contreras’ single to center.

The Braves had runners in scoring position in both the second and fourth innings, but Civale worked out of each jam.
