Sale was outstanding again Friday night allowing just one run on six hits, he did not issue a walk, and struck out six in a complete game win over the Yankees.
It's difficult to find new words to describe Sale (8-0) when he's in a groove. He needed just 99 pitches (71 for strikes) to keep his record perfect and lower his ERA to a microscopic 1.67 on the year. People still whisper about injury risk based on his violent delivery, but until that happens, if it ever does, he clearly remains a top tier starting pitcher. He'll face off against the Astros in Chicago next time out.
