Well, that didn’t go as planned. The Red Sox were at Fenway for the first time in 2019, looking for a rebound from the team as a whole and from their ace. Chris Sale did look better this time out, to be fair, as his velocity was up and his overall stuff was solid. This still wasn’t peak Sale, of course, but it was a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, he still wasn’t getting swing and misses and the Blue Jays were able to use their contact to BABIP their way into a whole lot of singles.
