Red Sox's Chris Sale exits start early with left shoulder soreness

BOSTON -- Boston Red Sox pitcher Chris Sale will get an MRI after leaving Thursday's 8-2 win against the Cincinnati Reds early because of left shoulder soreness.

Sale struck out six batters in 3u2154 innings, allowing five hits and a walk on 59 pitches.

Cora said after the game that Sale will get an MRI on Friday.
