White Sox pitcher Chris Sale was dominant in Friday's start against Texas, but he had to settle for a no-decision after a blown save by the bullpen.
Sale struck out 14, tying a record with five consecutive games of 12 strikeouts or more, tying Randy Johnson and Pedro Martinez.
"It's an honor to get my name mentioned with them, but it's something more for you guys and friends and family," Sale said. "I'm here for one reason and that's winning ballgames. All the other stuff is more of a distraction than anything, really."
Sale threw eight shutout innings, allowing two hits and not walking a batter.
Sale left with a one-run lead, but it didn't stand up. His next start will be Wednesday against Minnesota.
