White Sox pitcher Chris Sale turned in a quality start Monday.
Sale allowed three runs on eight hits over six innings. He struck out eight and walked two during the outing. Home runs proved to be a big issue for Sale during the start. A solo shot by J.J. Hardy opened up the scoring in the second inning. Nelson Cruz would add another run in the sixth on a solo homer. Sale gave up his third run in the fifth, after a single and double drove in Nick Markakis.
With the loss, Sale dropped to 10-3. He’ll take on the Yankees in his next start.
