Sale (6-2) gave up six runs (five earned) on 10 hits and two walks while striking out nine in Tuesday's 13-7 win over the White Sox.
It's only the second time this season in 11 trips to the mound that Sale has failed to deliver a quality start, and the first time he hasn't lasted at least six innings, but the left-hander had plenty of margin for error with Boston's bats crushing six homers on the night. Sale's next start will come Sunday in Baltimore.
