This was a brutal loss. After winning their previous five games it’s hard to be mad about a single loss, of course. It was bound to happen. But given the specifics around this particular game, it hurts. Chris Sale was absolutely magnificent in his start on Tuesday, showing some of the best stuff we’ve ever seen from him. That’s obviously saying something. The lefty struck out the first six batters he saw and eight of the first nine, eventually getting through seven innings with 17 strikeouts. It was the most ever for a seven-inning start.
