White Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale shrugged off a trip to the disabled list and got right back to his dominant ways Thursday, in a 3-2 win over the Yankees.
Sale flirted with perfection over six innings of work, as he retired the first 17 batters he faced before allowing a two-out single in the top of the sixth. He struck out the next batter he faced, one of 10 punchouts he had in the game.
Sale was lifted after six innings due to a pitch count, but did a good job putting any concerns about his elbow to rest. He has a 4-0 record and 1.89 ERA heading into his next start, set for Tuesday against the Indians.
