What a year it’s been for Chris Sale and the Boston Red Sox. A new contract, a new World Series ring, and a fresh season to defend the crown against the rest of the league. Quickly the train would come off the tracks though and the title defense would be derailed.
We are now in mid-July and Chris Sale still hasn’t earned a victory at Fenway Park. This isn’t just a problem for Sale though as the Sox have an embarrassing 22-24 record at home. To put that into perspective, the Red Sox lost just 24 games at home in the entirety of last season.
