Sale (2-0) surrendered six hits, three earned runs and two walks over seven innings in Saturday's 7-3 victory over the Indians. He struck out six.
Sale had a bit of trouble with the long ball, but was otherwise sharp in posting his second victory in as many trips to the mound. The 27-year-old upped his pitch count to 107 after throwing 104 in the opener versus Oakland, and encouragingly induced 13 ground ball outs. While the whiffs are a bit down from the typical elite-level rate he's set as a standard, Sale is expected to once again be one of the most dominant pitchers in the majors in 2016.
