Sale (1-0) struck out nine and threw a two-hit, complete-game shutout in Friday's 1-0 victory over the Rays.
The White Sox ace was simply masterful in mowing down a Rays squad that has struggled to score in the first two weeks of the season. He found the strike zone with 71 of his 106 pitches and induced 18 swings-and-misses along the way as well. He retired 16 straight between the second and seventh innings, and has now racked up 23 whiffs in 23 innings of work. Sale will look to extend his stellar start to the season when he takes the mound against the Angels next Wednesday.
