Chris Sale looked untouchable for so many years on the South Side. Tuesday night, his old team made him look mortal.
Since leaving the White Sox in this past offseason’s blockbuster trade with the Boston Red Sox, Sale has been one of the best pitchers — if not the best pitcher — in the American League. He entered Tuesday’s big-time pitching matchup against former teammate Jose Quintana with a 2.34 ERA and a league-leading 101 strikeouts.
But Tuesday night he coughed up six runs on 10 hits, the White Sox getting to him and scoring in three separate innings.
