Chris Sale Strikes Out 13 Over Seven Shutout Innings
7 years agoBoston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale threw seven dominant innings Sunday against the Mariners. Sale needed just 93 pitches to get through seven innings despite striking out 13. It was Sale's second straight start with double-digit strikeouts. 71 of Sale's 93 pitches went for strikes which included an absurd 26 swinging strikes. Sale had a small blip for a few starts but now seems back to his typical elite self. The Red Sox will need that Cy Young caliber starter as his next start will come at Yankee Stadium.
