White Sox ace Chris Sale got the start Monday night at home against Detroit. Sale managed to go the distance in a winning decision over the Tigers.
The Chicago ace gave up a solo homer to Miguel Cabrera and an RBI double to Brayan Pena in the second. He didn't give up another run the rest of the way in the 6-2 victory to improve to 8-11 on the year with a 2.73 ERA.
Obviously having a far better season than his record would suggest, Sale struck out six and scattered nine base hits without walking a batter over 109 pitches.
The 24-year-old has won his last two outings with two runs allowed over 16 1/3 innings with 12 Ks. He has 167 Ks over 158 1/3 innings for the White Sox. Sale will make his next scheduled starting appearance Saturday at Minnesota.
