The Red Sox were looking to their ace left-hander to deliver a performance that could inspire the squad. Chris Sale did just that when he marched into Guaranteed Rate Field last night as if he’d never left. Friday night wasn’t just about giving Boston a chance to win, it was also about getting Sale back to his dominating form.
The night wasn’t all perfect as there were hiccups here and there. A pair of hit batsmen and a couple of hits would find their way into Sale’s boxscore but other than that the southpaw was untouchable. He gave the Red Sox everything he had over 6IP and put them in a strong position to walk away with the win.
