Someday, the Boston Red Sox will score runs for
Chris Sale. That day has not yet arrived. The Boston lefty twirled eight shutout innings today—
striking out thirteen Jays—and came away with a no decision. He was in line for the "W", as
Xander Bogaerts delivered a clutch, two-out RBI single in the top of the ninth, putting Boston up, 1-0. Then, on his second pitch of the
bottom of the ninth inning, "closer"
Craig Kimbrel coughed up a game-tying HR. In the 10th, the heroics fell to
Mookie Betts—who had previously struck out twice in the game. Betts ripped a two-out double down the left-field line that scored three runs. Kimbrel came back out in the 10th
to nail down the win, 4-1.
