White Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale ended his winless streak at three games Thursday by downing the Rays, 5-2.
Sale tossed seven solid innings, limiting the Rays to just two runs on four hits, one of which was a home run. He struggled a bit with his control, walking four, but he also struck out seven batters, matching his season high. Sale threw 67 of 104 pitches for a strike, while earning his second win of the season.
Sale is 2-2 in five starts, and has gone at least seven innings in four of his starts. He has a 4.09 ERA, however eight of his 15 runs allowed came in a single start. Sale has 30 strikeouts and 10 walks in 33 innings, along with a 1.15 WHIP.
He is scheduled to make his next start Wednesday against the Rangers.
