White Sox usually-dominant left-hander Chris Sale continued his mysterious struggles against Minnesota on Sunday.
Sale has now allowed 27 runs in 33 innings to the Twins this season after they plated six against him Sunday in just three innings. The southpaw allowed nine hits along the way and whiffed three.
His issues were immediate. A Miguel Sano single scored one run in the first and a Torii Hunter blast added three. Sale then retired nine in a row, but four straight singles added two more runs. He did not come out for the fourth inning.
The poor performance raised his ERA to 3.55.
