Sale allowed four runs (three earned) with 10 strikeouts and just one walk in a complete-game victory over the Royals on Friday.
Sale threw first-pitch strikes to 24 of 35 batters faced, induced nine ground-ball outs and notched double-digit strikeouts for the third time in the last five starts. He has taken it to another level down the stretch, as he has gone at least eight innings in each of his last six starts, while allowing no more than three runs in any and posting a stellar 58:9 K:BB ratio. He will have the opportunity to keep it rolling Wednesday against the Phillies.
