The Red Sox have now lost nine of Chris Sale’s twelve starts this year, which is not exactly what a team with playoff expectations is looking for when their ace is on the mound. He is certainly partially to blame for this, particularly early in the year. At the same, he is getting less run support than any other pitcher in the Red Sox rotation. That was the trend that continued on Friday in the delayed series opener in the Bronx. Sale wasn’t perfect, to be fair, leaving a couple of bad pitches over the plate and allowing four runs in six innings.
