White Sox starter Chris Sale endured a rough outing as he suffered his first loss of the season during Saturday's contest against the Indians.

Sale (1-1), who made his third start of the season, surrendered a two-run home run to Nick Swisher in the first and a grand slam to Mark Reynolds in the fifth inning. The left-hander was charged with eight runs on eight hits in 4 1/3 innings of work in a 9-4 defeat. He also struck out three and walked two on 87 pitches, 56 strikes.

Sale has a 5.21 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP through three starts. He'll try to get back on track Thursday at Toronto. He has not faced the Blue Jays since 2011. The 24-year-old is 0-1 with a 3.60 ERA in three career starts against Toronto.
