  • ESPN Stats & Information

The only possible thing that could have stopped the red-hot Chicago Cubs was Chris Sale.

Sale’s 15-strikeout game (along with seven one-hit innings) was notable in many respects. Among the highlights:

He reached the 200-strikeout mark for the third straight season, the first White Sox pitcher to have three straight such seasons since Hall-of-Famer Ed Walsh from 1910 to 1912.
