Sale allowed five runs on 11 hits in six innings Friday, but he still earned his 10th win of the season.
Sale allowed three home runs for just the sixth time in his career, and he allowed a home run to a left-handed batter for just the third time in his career. However, the White Sox offense did enough to give him his 10th win of the season. There has been much written this year about how Sale has succeeded in pitching to contact, so it is worth noting a few recent downgrades behind him (Austin Jackson will be out of center for a while and Tim Anderson is now at short).
