Just hand this guy the
Cy Young Award now.
Chris Sale delivered
another masterful performance on Wednesday afternoon—going seven innings, yielding just three hits and no runs in
a 4-0 blanking of Seattle. The lanky lefty struck out 11, lowering his ERA to 2.37 and gaining his 13th win on the season. The victory snapped Boston's four-game losing streak—keeping
The Carmine Hose alone in first place. The hitting leaders were: rookie
Rafael Devers (who ripped a HR for his first MLB hit),
Sandy Leon (his 6th HR, 2 RBIs),
Dustin Pedroia (2-4) and
Jackie Bradley, Jr. (2-4).
Craig Kimbrel nailed down his 25th save in the win.
