White Sox starter Chris Sale kept the Yankees offense down in the Bronx on Tuesday through seven innings. His only mistake was coming out for the eighth.

Sale gave up both earned runs he allowed in the eighth as Nate Jones allowed his inherited runners to score on an Alfonso Soriano two-run single. The Yankees ended up coming all the way back in the inning and Sale had to settle for a no-decision on the outing.

Sale held New York to three runs -- two earned -- on five hits and a walk over 7 1/3 innings. He struck out six batters and threw 114 pitches for Chicago. Sale's ERA is now at 2.97 on the season as he couldn't put the finishing touches on back-to-back wins. Still, he's allowed just three earned run allowed over 15 1/3 innings with 18 strikeouts.

Sale is to 199 Ks on the year over 187 2/3 innings. He's gone 4-1 over his last six outings for the White Sox. Sale makes his next start Sunday to close out a series in Baltimore.
