Red Sox 8, Royals 0: Chris Sale does the damn thing

Chris Sale is good at this pitching thing, you guys. The Royals do not provide the biggest test for the Red Sox ace, of course, but he made easy work of this Kansas City lineup on Wednesday. The lefty ended up tossing a complete game shutout on the road in which he allowed just three hits, none going for extra bases, and striking out a whopping twelve batters. Oh, and he mixed an immaculate inning in there for good measure. Why the hell not, right? On the other end, the offense finally gave him some run support with a nice, all-around effort that was opened up by a big, four-run fifth inning.
