Led by an outstanding performance from starter Chris Sale, the Boston Red Sox topped the Toronto Blue Jays today by a score of 7-4 at Fenway Park. The 35-year-old Sale brought his top game to the mound, striking out 15 batters while allowing 7 hits and giving up 2 walks.
“He made a lot of good pitches out there,” Blue Jays manager Brad Ausmus said. “He made some of our guys look bad. We didn’t help matters, but we really have to give him credit — he didn’t make many mistakes.”
To date this season Sale sports a 17-10 mark with a 3.26 ERA in 33 starting assignments. He has held the opposition to a .222 batting average and has 366 strikeouts in 267.2 innings.
