White Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale posted a quality start over seven innings for the third time in four starts Thursday against the Blue Jays, but he earned his second loss in a row thanks to poor offensive support.
Sale allowed three runs -- two earned -- in his seven innings, but that was enough to earn him his second loss of the season. He allowed one run in the first inning, and then two more in the fifth, in a 3-1 loss. He allowed just four hits and a walk in the game, while striking out six.
Sale is now 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA in four starts. He has struck out 23 and walked just six in 26 innings, however he has surrendered four home runs. Eight of his 13 earned runs allowed came in his previous start against the Indians. Sale will face the Indians in his next start, Tuesday.
