Sale allowed just three hits and two walks while tying a season high with 13 strikeouts through 7.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Saturday.
Sale was nothing short of dominant yet again, throwing a season-high 118 pitches, 85 of which were strikes. The southpaw has not received adequate run support recently; during his last four starts, the Red Sox have scored just 13 runs, with one apiece during his last two trips to the mound. During this particular outing, he handed the ball off to Craig Kimbrel, who wasn't able to close the door with a 1-0 lead. He now holds a 2.75 ERA with a WHIP of 0.90 and a remarkable 12.5 K/9. Sale's next start projects to be Thursday against the Blue Jays.
